Symbolism of The Serpent - Adept Initiates

“This planet sucks,” I told the 4-eyed being who’d rescued me 10 years before.

Being in love with a creature that bites off the end of its tail, swallows it (eggs and all) and becomes food for its own young can be challenging.

“You’re a fine pet,” It replied.

Yes. It reads minds.  When its snake-like body wraps around me, I feel so much love.

“Why am I on Earth…again?”


“I’m happy with you.”

My mind smiled with its joy.  It gathered sperm from the “him,” so that when its children were born they would have pets, too.
