so today i bought my ball pythons, spent every last dollar to buy them for the photo shoot i have planned with the aphrodite theme.
right now im trying to compare and find things that link aphrodite with a snake,
What a snake symbolizes,
The snake goddess statue
The snake in the egyption culture.. the one who is the daughter of ra and his wife that is represented with horns.
*greeks used snakes in healing rituals
*This copper snake according to the Biblical text is wrapped around a pole and used for healing. Book of Numbers 21:9
I know i might feel a little crazy trying to link everything together its almost impossible but knowledge never hurt anyone.
i loved that i found this quote though "The serpent is one of the oldest and most widespread mythological symbols. The word is derived from Latin serpens, a crawling animal or snake. Snakes have been associated with some of the oldest rituals known to humankind[1] and represent dual expression[2] of good and evil.[3]
but before i even looked up snakes i was looking at mine and wondering and asking myself the same thing. in my religion snakes are saught to be sneaky and deceiving and terrifying, (ill admit i was a bit frightend to buy them)
but i looked at them and noticed they had personalities (both of which i consist of) the cute nice shy one, and then the more aggresive, strong, determined one. ) i was associating myself with them and thought of the "dual expression"
now im just trying to find names for them.
