possibly in older times yes snakes would have been used by/with some one to hex or curse some other one....
....some see snakes as evil and thus fear them . others honour them
our very own royal python is revered by some tribes in Africa....looked upon as a form of Deity......Occult and Snakes have tread the same path for centuries......sadly most ppl jump the gun when you mention the word Occult ..its not what most ppl actually think it is ....wee clue ...its from the Greek word Occultis .

There's quite a few of us here that worship them never mind in Africa Give me Royals over kids ANY day!! Especially the ones when the teenagers are all home together
See we've managed a history and religious lesson all in one thread, and who said we couldn't have a sensible conversation I think there is a lot to be said for belief, it's a very powerful thing, people have recovered from life threatening diseases largesly due to their belief that they could, and people who were told they would never walk again believed they could and did
though I HATE to quote him, my other half is very fond of rattling off this little doozie (usually at me I hasten to add!!!).
"If you believe you will, and if you believe you won't, you'll probably be right!" God I hate him sometimes  _________________ www.draco2.co.uk
