3. We understand the Moon to be Selene, and to be the cabalistic Yesod, and thus the
entirety of dream, romance and the human imagination.
4. We understand the Serpent to be Glycon, to be the bronze serpent on the cabalistic
tree, and as an icon of the twisting double-helix dna, thus the entirety of life itself and
human flesh.
5. We understand that in the interplay of these two deities, reprised in atu-21 of the
