Snake people?
By:
Post # 1
Hello, quick question for those knowledgable in mythology.
Do you know of any creatures with a humanoid form, with a snake tail instead of legs, fangs, and two horns, spread backwards across their head? I remember seeing a picture of this somewhere, and now I'm curious.
Anyways, if you know, please comment!
Thanks in advance!

I'm terrible with names myself, but since the snake is ripe with symbolism throughout the globe the snake has woven itself into many variants of mythology. If I had my symbolism book I'd tell you he name, I know it starts with A and is of the Greeco/Roman variant. He's pictured in the book on a sigil with two snake tails and holding a trident in his hand. I can't remember if had horns though. Could you describe the photo a little more if memory serves you right?

There are many spiritual creatures from many religions. A lot of the snake ones have already been mentioned but I will leave links below for a lot of Greek ones which will give you further information and pictures.

Also, it is good to remember that though not everybody believes in deities or spirits but to many they are very real. Many people pray to, honor, give offerings to, and have experiences with many spiritual creatures as well as invoking and evoking them simular to angels, demons, and so forth.
