 MYSTERIOUS WORLD: Summer 2003: Serpent Mound Part II: Sacred Serpent
It was this relatively advanced and stable society that in turn gave them the luxury of making prolonged and detailed observations of the heavens, and to develop a complex religious worldview based upon the movements of their gods — of the sun, moon, stars and planets — in the heavens.
The Great Serpent Mound, then, was likely the setting for an annual ritual wherein the ancient Hopewell (and possibly the Fort Ancient peoples) regularly reenacted their most important annual ceremony in order to maintain a harmonic balance between heaven and earth and ensure the continued fertility of the land.
Serpent Mound State Memorial is located 10 miles north of the town of Peebles in Adams County, Ohio.

The Serpent Society was the brainchild of Seth Voelker, alias the Sidewinder, who was inspired by three previous coalitions of criminals styling their identities after snakes; each named the Serpent Squad.
The first Serpent Squad consisted of the original Viper; his brother, the original Eel (although an eel is a fish, not a snake); and the Cobra, and was organized for the purpose of destroying Captain America.
The second Serpent Squad aided the Viper and the renegade Atlantean Warlord Krang in their use of the Serpent Crown, an ancient artifact of immense power, and was defeated by Captain America in his short-lived guise as the original Nomad and by the Sub-Mariner.

The most ancient of Ohio's forgotten mysteries, Adams County’s Serpent Mound, is not haunted in the classical sense.
The Great Serpent Mound was treated with great reverence by the Adena, who buried their dead beneath dozens of small mounds in the vicinity, but never inside the mound itself.
There’s little doubt that the Serpent Mound was used in religious ceremonies by the Adena, and possibly by the later Hopewell Indians, who built their own elaborate earthworks in the area.

 MYSTERIOUS WORLD: Spring 2003: Serpent Mound Part I: Great Serpent
Moreover, though the Serpent Mound acropolis is not as extensive as Iowa's Effigy Mounds, taken as a single mound it far exceeds even the massive Great Bear Mound in both size and sheer spectacle, making it the largest animal effigy mound in the world.
This rendering of the serpent mound acropolis is from Squier and Davis' classic survey of Native American mound structures, Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley, originally published in 1848.
The Serpent Mound acropolis is made up of shallow, stony and acidic soil, whereas the soil just to the west of the ridge is made up of loam and flood-deposited sediments, and one-half mile south of the mound the soil is made up of 10-20 inches of wind-deposited loess.

 The Warrior Societies of Lirith Kai   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Horned Serpent: This society is political in nature, although it is said to have had a deeper origin and has certainly lasted longer than a purely political society usually does; its members are devious and aggressive and have often championed unpopular causes before the Emperor--but they have never acted treasonously, and so they are tolerated.
Members of the Horned Serpent Society are by no means temple knights, as a society, although they may approach the paladinic moral stance on an individual basis (see under Jade Eye for a description of the behavior expected of temple knights/paladins).
This is not actually a society of paladins, although some members may achieve that standard of honorable and pure behavior; the society leaders consider that paladins sometimes let themselves be led to the point of gross unwisdom in their efforts to follow the most extreme letter of the Code of Honor.

 LE MONDE DU SERPENT Program Notes
Monk's involvement with the serpent was responsible for the modern revival of the instrument, which had fallen into disuse in England in the 19th century and in France in the early 20th century.
The ophicleide (the word comes from the Greek words for "serpent" [ophis] and "key" [kleis]) is a keyed brass instrument which was along the evolutionary path from the serpent to the tuba; usually in C or B flat, it has 9-13 keys.
The serpent part is free glissando apart from the final notes (the last note is a high c#!) and the movement is one of hilarious play.

 Tempted by a Serpent
While numerous fingering charts for the serpent have been published, no printed matter can disguise the fact that playing the serpent is an inexact science at best, relying on the steady lip of the performer to get a firm grip on the intonation of any given note.
Only one case is to be excepted: masses for the dead, where the serpent serves to double the dreadful choir of the Dies Irae.
Not only is the distinctive tone of the serpent capable of contributing greatly to instrumental ensembles and choral accompaniment, it also possesses a visual appeal to audiences second to no other instrument, past or present.
