Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 i have the snake goddess from knossos on my mantle piece...... Catharine, can you tell me/us more about the snake goddess? I've always loved snakes, they're so beautiful & graceful. It's such a shame they've got a bad image. I remember stroking a boa' once, it felt like a pair of satin ballet shoes..............

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 the ancient cretans worshipped the snake goddess, when the great palace/temple at knossos was excavated in the 19th century, images of the snake goddess were found throughout the site..........she is usually bronze coloured, naked from the waist upwards, in a skirt resembling a victorian long dress, and with her arms aloft holding two wriggling snakes....she looks powerful............ catherine >"simonpjones" > > >Re: Snake goddess >Fri, 16 May 2003 12:28:49 +0100 > > >- > > >Friday, May 16, 2003 11:58 AM >Re: Snake goddess > >It's a pity snakes are their not veggie. > >S > > > > i have the snake goddess from knossos on my mantle piece...... > > > > > > Catharine, can you tell me/us more about the snake goddess? > > I've always loved snakes, they're so beautiful & graceful.

Y'know - I'm completely indifferent to snakes - they've never bothered me, but I don't particularly want to have one as a pet either. I do remember when I was a child an adder got into our porch and was obviously feeling a bit cornered - that was a bit of a frightening experience! BB Peter --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 Same here. I almost stepped on an adder which was sunning itself on a stone - you should have heard me squeal (not something I'm known to do). The snake went in one direction and I went in the other. I often have nightmares about snakes!! Jo > I confess I have an absolute dread of snakes and always have.
