Snakes represent, life, death, and rebirth. They "die" shedding their old bodies and gaining new ones.

>>1138756
Or this. Did you know that there are people that actually worship the Demiurge? World is a fucked up place.

>>1138745
Sneks are pretty metal

>>1138774
Even more important than skin shedding is the fact that Snakes are a the closest we have to a literal phallic symbol, and they reflect the male drive to consume and conquer.

Existence of snake God proven.

How else would snakes be everywhere? Snake god put them there.


>there is a sky gid in almost all cultures
>sky exist to all humans
Therefore sky God must have existed and put the sky in the view of humans. Same goes for rivers, earth, rain, thunder, fire, flood, sex, death birth Gods.

>>1138745

Do they? The Slavs had one, so did the Minoans, but most mythologies don't have snake gods. I guess you could count dragons as "snake gods" but I don't think that's how they were understood historically.

THere are sneks in scandinavia?
>>
>>1139054

They have the same snakes they have in Britain, grass snakes and Adders. Adders are extremely venomous, but there's no sign of them being worshipped or involved in cult activity in any way, tho ofc they inspired nordic dragons (who spit poison, not fire) and one was used to punish Loki for killing Baldr.

Serpents represent wisdom and beauty.

Fallen angels (or "ancient aliens" for the fedoras) came to Earth and meddled with mankind.

Read Genesis and the Book of Enoch.

They represent our reptilian overlords who build pyramids.
