uh... the "feathered serpent" is the interpretation of the two supreme animal symbols (snake and eagle, black and white, knowledge and power, etc)
combined, also known as a dragon. The dragon is the ultimate supreme being because it possesses the traits of both the eagle and the serpent. This
is why dragons are worshiped and feared throughout history, because of their influence on the balance of nature.
At least this is what I know from actual experience in the occult. It's not easy to explain to an outsider but faith in ancient mythology is an
asset.
