Serpentine Beings

Serpentine beings concentrate snake-formed powers that govern fertility, rivers, healing, wisdom, poison, and the border with the underworld. Expect nagas, river and sea serpents, hydras, basilisk traditions, lamia tales, and world-encircling coils in creation stories. Symbols include shedding skin, coils, staff and serpent, and the self-biting ouroboros of renewal. We address protective guardians, tempters, teachers, and shape-shifters across temples, springs, caves, and coasts.
