A Creature Shrouded in Legend
Snakes have slithered through human imagination for millennia. From the ouroboros (the snake eating its own tail, symbolizing eternity) in Egyptian mythology to the revered snake deities in Chinese folklore, these creatures embody duality: feared for their venom, yet worshipped for their healing power. In Chinese tradition, the snake is linked to intelligence and rebirth—think legends like Nuwa, the goddess who literally molded humanity from clay!
