Reviews

Primal Wisdom of the Ancients is fascinating in Laird Scranton's descriptions of the parallels of the cosmologies of diverse cultures throughout the ancient world and the contemporary Dogon culture. His descriptions open the door to a deeper understanding of the evolution of our cosmological consciousness. * Nicholas Brink, author of Ecstatic Soul Retrieval * An engrossing and informative book, Primal Wisdom of the Ancients puts the reader in front of a coruscating kaleidoscope of context with the turn of each page. Rather than research more evidence for cultural diffusion, Laird Scranton takes a refreshing approach from his already opulent opus and successfully amalgamates the purpose underlying the patterns and principles perpetuated by the primordial tradition. This book is not only a valuable contribution to the study of comparative cosmology but also serves as an initiation into the greater mysteries of the esoteric tradition. The only ritual required for the initiate to perform is to read it! * Anyextee, esoteric researcher, documentary filmmaker, and founder of Adapt Expeditions *
