Serpent

Descendent of dragons, conjurer of storms; dark clouds,

thunder, lightning and full sun worshipper; sloughing off the past

with an alchemical peel. Diurnal dualist coiled beneath wild,

undisturbed places; feeding off the roots of the world tree;

Hidden knowledge and the elixir of life granted to the initiated;

Poison administered as medicine to the heedless and unmindful.

Part adversary, part liberator; the great awakener of an undiluted life.
