The serpent (a snake or snake-like entity) is one of the oldest
and most widespread mythological symbols. The word is derived from Latin serpens, a crawling
animal or snake. Snakes have been associated with some of the oldest rituals
known to humankind and represent dual expression of good and evil.
Occasionally, serpents and dragons are used interchangeably,
having similar symbolic functions. The venom of the serpent is thought to have
a fiery quality similar to a Fire spitting dragon. The Greek Ladon and the
Norse Nidhogg are sometimes described as serpents and sometimes as dragons.
Ior symbolizes dual natures, evident in the amphibious habits of many water beasts
(like the World Serpent). In Norse
mythology the World Serpent (or Midgard serpent) known as Jormungandr encircled
the world in the ocean's abyss biting its own tail. It also signifies the
unavoidable hardships in life that we can do nothing about, but should still
not worry about.
The Ior is protective and binding in nature. Like the serpent that it symbolizes, it
entwines itself around life, causing change by bringing death and subsequently
allowing new life to begin.
