The Judeo-Christian, Part IV. The Two Serpents of the Caduceus and the Double Helix of DNA

Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

– Ecclesiastes 12:13


End of All Flesh, End of Days.
Two evil spirits joined together,
the spirit of the male is subtle,
the spirit of the female is diffused in many ways and paths
but joined to the spirit of the male.

– Lilith as the Serpent, by Margi B.

Part IV. The Two Serpents of the Caduceus and the Double Helix of DNA

 

The Caduceus is an ancient Greco-Roman relic, or symbol, that happens to be thousands of years old and has been found in several different pre-Christian cultures and religious traditions. The actual shape of this mysterious object, considered to be one of a kind and supernaturally powerful, is composed of two serpents directly opposite one another which are both coiled upwards upon a short staff or rod. Traditionally, this staff, or scepter, was seen as a unique, even sacred, device used by the ‘gods’ in unknown ways to both control and assist mankind. Here are just two short definitions of the Caduceus:

(The) Caduceus is a winged staff with two snakes wrapped around it. It was an ancient astrological symbol of commerce and is associated with the Greek god Hermes, the messenger for the gods.

– Caduceus, Rod of Hermes – DNA

The caduceus (from Greek κηρύκειον kērukeion “herald’s staff”) is the staff carried by Hermes in Greek mythology….It is a short staff entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings. In Roman iconography it was often depicted being carried in the left hand of Mercury, the messenger of the gods, guide of the dead and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars and thieves.

– Caduceus, Wikipedia

During the late 20th century, the actual physical structure of molecular DNA was then finally discovered to also resemble two opposing serpents wrapped around each other as if on an axis, or a pole, just like the ‘magical’ Pagan talisman, the Caduceus. As Wikipedia states: ‘In 1953, James D. Watson and Francis Crick suggested what is now accepted as the first correct double-helix model of DNA structure in the journal Nature.’

The astonishing resemblance in the shape and function of both the age-old Caduceus and the microscopic Double-Helix of DNA may simply be just a coincidence. Even so, it has been noted by both the established leaders of modern medicine and conspiracy theorists alike. The real question is whether the actual shape of the ancient Caduceus, which pre-dated the discovery of DNA by thousands of years, has any real meaning at all. Some truly believe that it does. Here are just a few selected passages:

Thus about the origins and meaning of this DNA symbol, the Caduceus, the full answers remain unclear. How do we honor this symbol of the DNA wrapped around a central column with wings as a sign of healing yet have real knowledge of the symbology of it?

– THE ASCENDING GODDESS: Kundalini Shakti, Chapter 5, by Ruth A. Bailey

Historically, the two astrological symbols had distinct meanings in alchemical and astrological principles. Some medical organizations join the serpents of the caduceus with rungs to suggest a DNA double-helix.

– Caduceus – Rod of Hermes – DNA

While this assumption may seem fairly impossible, mankind’s ancient legends of the Caduceus may well have been some sort of garbled, supernaturally-transmitted message implanted in primitive man concerning the actual structure of microscopic DNA, which can be found in all biological life, and is a primary unit of evolution and reproduction.

On a similar note, the Double Helix of DNA’s crucial functioning in cellular replication, as well as all plant and animal fertilization and reproduction also has incredible similarities to the ancient Hebrew/Jewish legends of the two, evil serpent/angels known as Samael (the Devil) and Lilith (Queen of Demons). Consider the following centuries-old passages from Jewish Rabbis and other sources:

Lilith and Samael also have intercourse through a ‘snake’ like intermediary also. ‘You already know that evil Samael and wicked Lilith are like a sexual pair who, by means of an intermediary, receive an evil and wicked emanation from one and emanate to the other…The heavenly serpent is a blind prince, the image of an intermediary between Samael and Lilith…The masters of tradition said that just as this serpent slithers without eyes, so the supernal serpent has the image of a spiritual form without color–these are ‘the eyes.’ They call it an eyeless creature…He is the bond, the accompaniment, and the union between Samael and Lilith.’ (Quoting Treatise on the Left Emanation)

– Lilith as the Serpent, by Margi B. (2004-2005), from LilithGate Website

Lilith and Samael are also described as serpents of two qualities; the Slant Serpent and the Torturous Serpent.’…Leviathan is the connection and the coupling between the two who have the likeness of serpents. Therefore it is doubled: the Slant Serpent corresponding to Samael, and the Tortuous Serpent corresponding to Lilith...’ (Quoting Moses Cordovero, Pardes Rimmonim 186d)

– Lilith as the Serpent, by Margi B.2004-2005, from LilithGate Website

In conclusion, these incredible correlations and similarities between the legends of the Greco-Roman Caduceus, the completely separate Hebrew folk-tales of the evil serpent couple Samael and Lilith, and the actual molecular structure of DNA cannot be, and are most probably not, just a coincidence. Instead, they could well represent a miraculous connection between religion and science spanning more than 3,000 – 4,000 years of history which remains completely unexplainable.

Does this mean the God of the Holy Bible is a genetics engineering genius? Of course He is, but this totally mysterious parallel between absurd superstitious religious myths (Two Serpents Copulating) and actual modern science (DNA and Genetics) could also imply that the LORD God may be far more like us than we have ever imagined. It is quite possible that direct contact with the Divine could somehow be achieved through a Judeo-Christian scientific break-through sometime very soon, perhaps even within the next century or so. Here is just a Scriptural hint of metaphorical genetic engineering (Divine Intervention) and its healing potential from the time of Moses:

The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died…And Moses interceded for the people. Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Make a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live.’ And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it upon the pole; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived.

– Numbers 21:6-9

The Caduceus of Samael, Lilith, and Molecular DNA

May the LORD God bless you in the name of the Judeo-Christian tradition.

The higher the position, the greater is the fall, and this applies to the serpent who was not only the chief of all animals at first, but walked upright like man, and when it fell it sank into the reptile world.
