"Cynthia Donahey" wrote in message ... In an old book on Indian gardening, there was a brief reference to leaving a bowl of milk out for cobras. It seem to be partially religious, partially blackmail. Has anyone (in areas where there are snakes) done this or heard anything about this? I don't think the snakes around here are very religious. Only Brass snakes are religious. This is what Moses used to cure illness. |

Only Brass snakes are religious. This is what Moses used to cure illness. Come to think of it further, perhaps this is why Moses led his people to the land of "Milk and Honey". He could encourage all the snakes to come to drink the milk and turn them to brass; tell people to look at the brass snakes and cure their illness(s). As for the Honey - well, they could make mead from this and if looking at the brass snakes did not cure them - they could drink the mead and not care - ha ha ha. |
