The emblem of mystery, eternity, wisdom

Goddess 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 hеad

The snake is a main image of thе 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
