Snake Worship.

Python worship or the worship OF
snake gods is still practiced in parts
of the west coast of Africa. In Da-
honey and Ashanti there are temples
where pythons are kept to receive the
alteration of the people. The snakes
are not confined to the precincts of the
temples. Small holes are left in the
inclosing wall, through which they
pass and sometimes make themselves
very much at home in the houses of
the people. When stray snake is
found word is sent to the temple, the
priests come and with many apologies
to his snakeship pick him up and car
~ him back home.
