The King, as Divine Being, protects the 'Queen/goddess' or temple,in the Cobra guise. This is usually protection from other 'male' energies, such as actions taken by men towards Divine Goddess females or sites dedicated to an aspect of her. This would have been done by the king or Queen who would have reached a certain level in their own priesthood skills. I imagine that the priests/priestesses would also be able to 'install' the 'Cobra' when necessary. The use of the cobra in 'lesser' households, especially in conjunction with female figurines, would be their way of using sympathetic magic to perform the same function of protection. <br />It is interesting that they are also found with spindles etc. A very 'female' and mythologically 'Divine' female task.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077861201177095948noreply@blogger.com
