Serpent-LeggedThe emblem of mystery, eternity, wisdomGoddess of the river Concrete representation of the tempter Relying for support upon the Apocalypse The serpent never dies Only when injured by violence, Whence the Phoenicians have named it the Agathodæmon The Egyptians have called him Cneph Given him a hawk's head The snake is a main image of the vitality and continuity of life Guardians of the springs of life and immortality An epiphany of the Goddess of Death Energy exuded by this spiraling or coiling creature transcends its boundaries and influences the surrounding world Adversary of the transcendental God Dragon of the outer darkness Barred off this world from above Redeemed only by being annihilated |
