The Mother of Snakes



The Mother of Snakes isn't just the fear of serpents, but the first portrayal of the Fear of Ourselves -- of what we are, what we have become, and what we might become. She is the fear of looking into the mirror and hating what you see. When you do, she is there to tempt you, trying to make you walk into the other side of the mirror with promises of self-improvement.

Her servants, the Lilim, are often written finding new victims for her. They are nearly all women who have given in to the tempting words of the Mother of Snakes and have been gifted with fangs, scales, and the ability to travel through mirrors.

She prefers to stay behind mirrors and in her domain, the Garden of Desolation.
