The Cult of the Snake is very old and has many forms. The sorceress of the Snake, or Snake Witches are witches in the true meaning of the term, as they are able to bewitch men, women and animals bending to their will or forcing them into a state of trance. They live in deep caves, underground maze beneath the city and even the largest and most prosperous tropical forests where the natural link with the shapes of the Snake is more solid and stable. The participation of the witch rituals of the Cult of Serpent is essential because these are officiating at the same time, perpetrators and beneficiaries of the sacrifice.
Their greatest power is in fact to establish a link with the snake, whereas the term with something halfway between an ancestral deity, a primitive ancestor of the race and the spirit of that breed. Unlike many other cults that worship the Snake does not focus on an icon humanized hybrid of man and snake, the occasional presence of snakes or of abnormal size in some sanctuaries of the cult makes them object of worship, but simply a sacred animal, as are cats or bulls in other cults. During the rites of the Cult of the Snake sorceress enter into communion with the snake and take the form of large snakes and as such consume the sacrifice under the adoring eyes of the cultists.
Outside the rituals of worship, the sorceress are visited by those who seek the services they can provide a witch, as they are able to prepare teas and other concoctions, capable in making apotropaic amulets and talismans (always from valuable organic elements) and obviously skilful in curing the poison.
