Short description of contents:

A ritual involving the sacrifice of a snake and the coming of a holy wind/spirit is described by the Orphic Stone-book. It was inspired by some Gnostic rituals which, in turn, were inspired by Christian rituals. Some Gnostic believers and probably also some pagan devotees performed similar rituals which allegedly provided the practitioners with the knowledge of languages.
