Happy Serpent Day!

Here at the Haberdashery Cryptid Preserve, we slither with joy in celebration of Serpent Day! This age-old holiday stretches back centuries, honoring the serpent throughout history and mythology. From the cunning serpent in the Garden of Eden to the mighty Midgard Serpent of Norse legend, serpents have long been a source of fascination and intrigue.

Serpents in Myth and Legend

Serpents are depicted in various cultures across the globe. In some myths, they are revered as symbols of creation, rebirth, and wisdom. For example, the Chinese dragon, often depicted as a serpentine creature, represents power, good fortune, and protection. In other cultures, serpents are portrayed as dangerous and destructive forces. The Leviathan of the Abrahamic religions is a monstrous sea serpent, often identified with Satan.
