| SERPENTS
Serpents possess magical powers in many cultures. An Amphisbaena is a serpent with two heads, one at each end of its body, each with glowing eyes. Wearing a live amphisbaena will protect a pregnant woman and wearing a dead one is a cure for rheumatism. Quetzalcoatl was the plumed serpent god of the Toltecs and Aztecs who taught the people writing, painting, agriculture, and metal working. |
