Y for Yig



Freaks A-Z. Letter "Y" 

Size: 210mm x 297mm 

Material:Charcoal pen

Yig, the God of snakes, described as a snake-head man and scales over the body, as shown in the alias of "father" of all the snakes, he can freely summon and control snakes. Yig is also the prototype of Quetzalcoatl in the Aztecs' faith. He awarded the knowledge of venom to those respect the snake, and even the ability to dialogue with snakes. If someone ruthless persecution to snakes, he will cursed into a snake. 

People today might thought he is the false god in the Cthulhu Mythos, but in the ancient times, the snake regarded as a symbol of regeneration and vitality. solely normalized Yig as the false god is the arrogance of modern people!

司掌諸蛇的神,外型被描繪為蛇頭人身、遍體麟片的壯碩男子。正如"眾蛇之父"的別名所示,他能自由招喚控制蛇類;據說也是阿茲提克蛇神魁扎爾科亞特爾的原型。對於敬重蛇者溫和寬厚,甚至會授予蛇毒的知識、與蛇對話之能力;對迫害蛇的存在冷酷無情者,有時會將其變為蛇。在群蛇飢餓的秋季他會變為粗暴的災神. 

由現代人的觀念會由蛇神的外表認為他是邪神,但自古以來許多民族將蛇視作為再生與生命力的象徵,單單只將其歸作邪神可謂是現代人的傲慢!
