Naga as a word refers to snakes and cobras. Naga > snaga > snake, do you see the phonetic drift? But Naga also is an umbrella term that includes worms and dragons because of the sine-wave style of movement. Creatures with this way of moving, and those that can put themselves in the intelligence of that motion, find the “wormhole” the easy, effortless way through any block.
Naga power also has a deep connection with language and thought. Serpentine tongues are symbolic in stories around words that penetrate the veil of the universe. Sibilant sounds, noises made in the mouth by hissing, are known to purify the psyche. Sybils, ancient Greek female oracles, are named so for their penetrative powers similar to those of the naga.
Certain lore uses the term Naga to refer to a half-human, half-serpent being. These creatures were said to be beautiful, often beneficent though sometimes slippery, residents of the inner world. Keepers of gems and dwelling in palaces, whether these humans had a falling out with the Nagas, or whether they existed at all, is immaterial. The Naga technology has remained effective for manifestation and accelerated intelligence for millennia.
