Ophiolatreia

by Edward Sellon

About this book

This study traces serpent worship through accounts of ceremonies, symbols, and religious traditions in different parts of the world. It brings together descriptions of sacred serpents and their place in ritual and belief.

The chapters move across cultures while comparing the forms and meanings attached to the serpent. The volume concentrates on the history and development of these traditions rather than the natural history of snakes.
