Religion
The Python played a prominent role in the Order of Vengeance. The Divine symbol of Keresis, Goddess of Vengeance was a sword pointing down with a large python twisting around the blade and a crow perched upon the pommel. This symbol was also found on Her shrines. She also owned a pet python named Pytho.
Similarly, the Divine symbol of Ourania, Goddess of the Moon is that of a waxing crescent Moon surrounded by seven Stars, above a Tree of crystal with a white python wrapped about its trunk on a field of black.
Likewise the symbols of Indrani, Lady of Sin include a hooded serpent.
