Abstract

SERPENT is one of the most controversial and SYMBOLic creatures. In referring to the dictionary of SYMBOLs, we encounter lots of pages for this entry and find out that it has mingled with man's culture and civilization. Its root is the same as death. In Pahlavi it is (mar), in Sanskrit (mara). Mara means killer or one which makes the others die (Borhan Ghate'). In Gilaki and Mazandarani dialects mar means mother. Therefore in Persian Language it has two meanings:1-killer or causing to die2-Bearer (mother or foundation of something)It is interesting that both definitions are opposite to each other. SERPENT is the factor of existence. Their roots are apparently separate from each other, that's, in the first meaning SERPENT points at death and sick man, but in the second meaning it denotes mother and a female.We, in this occasion, discuss about the stance of SERPENT in different customs and ceremonies and in folkloric LITERATURE of Iran.
