Snake symbolism is not uncommon in the philosophies of some of the darker [[Divine Order|Divine Orders]]. In this context, the serpent symbol usually represents secrecy, wisdom, cunning, or guile. | |||
For instance, 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, a symbol also found on Her [[shrines]]. The Goddess 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. | |||
[[ | Finally, the symbols of [[Indrani|Indrani, Lady of Sin]] included a hooded serpent. | ||
