The Python played a prominent role in the [[Divine Order|Order]] of Vengeance. The Divine symbol of [[Keresis|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|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.
