Snake Bites and the Hopi Snake Dance is a book written by M. W. Stirling that explores the cultural significance of the Hopi Snake Dance, a traditional ceremony performed by the Hopi people of Arizona. The book examines the history and origins of the dance, as well as the beliefs and practices associated with it. One of the key focuses of the book is the role of snakes in Hopi culture, and the ways in which the Snake Dance is believed to bring about healing and protection from snake bites. Stirling also delves into the scientific aspects of snake venom and the medical treatments for snake bites, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject matter. The book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of culture, religion, and science, and provides valuable insights into the traditions of the Hopi people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
