The Snake has always been the symbol of fertility and rebirth and renewal, shedding the old self and being reborn in its new skin.
The snake emerges from the den or the dark hole in the ground. The Underworld if you will.
ALL LIFE (everything in nature and in the universe) EMERGES FROM THE DARKNESS, aka a BLACK HOLE (vaginal innuendo), the ABYSS, the primordial waters of the goddess! This is why the snake represents sex and fertility, because it enters in and out of the hole of the nether regions where it resides.
Darkness re-presents The Feminine Nature because the goddess is NEGATIVE (not BAD, just negative polarity), thus her organs are INWARD, she CONTRACTS, her energy is MAGnetic and her essence is WATER, cool, wet and moist, which is why she is associated with the CAVE, the CAVERNS, the DARK HOLE that leads to the abyss of the underworld (into the ground where caves go).
This is further reinforced in the anatomy of the female genitalia where we find her "Corpus CAVERNosum ("cave-like bodies) of the CLITORIS."
Darkness is universally PERCEIVED as "evil" because the darkness is associated with all things representing death and unconsciousness, the nighttime, when the sunlight goes away and "dies," when the "monsters," come out, when the nocturnal predators would threaten the survival of primordial man (this is the root of all human fear, especially fear of the dark). This darkness is associated with the death of the season in winter when the sun "dies" at its lowest point of the annual year.
Sapiente Sibillia - Wise Sibyl
Medieval Italians remembered the prophetic sibyls of ancient Cumae, in the bay of Napoli.
Legend said that the last sibyl took refuge in a mountain in Appenines, and turned her into a pagan goddess. Sibillia lived in a subterranean paradise of CAVERNS full of marvels and treasures.
There the immortal Sibillia and her faery women regularly assumed serpent form. They taught the arts of magic. Seekers entered through a grotto with a magical spring-fed lake.
In "Reductorium Morale"(1360), Pietro Bersuire wrote about the cave of Sibilla and the happy life in her subterranean world. He alluded to the place as a historic shrine; a priest told him that a lake in the mountains near Norcia had been consecrated to demons from antiquity.
