The Kundalini is serpentine in appearance as it is coiled at the [[base-of-the-spine chakra]] and raised at will by [[adept]]s to the [[third eye]]. When the Kundalini is awakened, it begins to ascend the spinal column. We see this represented in the [[caduceus]], a symbol of the medical profession. The caduceus is illustrated as a staff with two entwined snakes rising to a pair of wings at the top. As the sacred fire rises on the spinal altar through the two snakes (i.e., the male and female energies), it heals mankind’s diseases. |
