The story: the snake is a highly symbolic animal in many cultures, and has been since ancient times. It was then associated with eternal youth but also with renewal, due to the perpetual moulting of the snake. In India and South Asia, it is associated with abundance and by extension, fertility. In Egypt, it was a royal and divine symbol linked to immortality but also to wisdom. Whatever symbolism you choose to retain, the snake is an aesthetic motif with universal symbolism.
