Welcome back AQ.
Glad to here that you've had a successful trip.
Snakes and the Ma.
Many statues of the virgin mary portray her with her foot on the head of a serpent.
The obvious allusion is to the crushing of the devil. However it would also symbolise the new christian cult crushing the old faith.
Sexually ,you've got a virgin crushing a snake, is that a freudian thang going on there or am I stretching it a bit.
