	Caduceus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A caduceus (kə-dū'sē-əs, -shəs, -dyū'-; kerykeion in Greek; Unicode U+2624 (☤) on the Miscellaneous Symbols table) is a winged staff with two snakes wrapped around it.
		It was an ancient astrological symbol of commerce and is associated with the Greek god Hermes, the messenger for the gods, conductor of the dead and protector of merchants and thieves.
		In some cases, depictions of the Greek kerykeion can be radically different from that of the traditional caduceus (as in the picture at right).

	Serpentine Power In Greece And India
		Such a staff already existed in the Hellenic culture, taking the technical name kerykeion (note 9), and was used by Hermes on the divine level and the heralds on the human level, as can be seen in iconography (note 10) (illustration 1).
		In an attempt to explain the vision of Branchos' mother, the episodes of Melampous and Teiresias and the serpentine head of the kerykeion we have resorted to a religious tradition that displays in a structured manner most of the elements that scattered throughout Greek mythology are incoherent.
		The major drawback to using Tantrism in comparative religion is the lack of literary evidence of the movement prior to the sixth century CE (note 17).

		These representations will feature the two snakes atop the wand (rod), crossed to create a circle with the heads of the snakes resembling "horns." In this form, it looks remarkably similar to the symbol for Mercury (planet).
		Of course, Mercury the god is the Roman name for Hermes, who carries the kerykeion, or caduceus.
		In the seventh century, the caduceus came to be associated with a precursor of medicine, based on the Hermetic astrological principles of using the planets and stars to heal the sick.

		narrates the manner in which Hermes obtains the serpentine staff, in circumstances identical with those originating Teiresias' sexual mutation (only the interpretation differs, the separation of the serpents is understood as a pacification, according to the major function of the kerykeion as staff of the mediator).
		The major drawback to using Tantrism in comparative religion is the lack of literary evidence of the movement prior to the sixth century CE But the literary transmission, or even the generalization of a doctrine does not imply the non-existence of previous strong and long-dated roots.
