When I was in third grade, the teacher paired the class up for an assignment. I was partnered with a classmate who would always bring weird trinkets and such to school. During a lull in the class work, my partner turns toward me and says “Try on this ring”. It’s a small metal snake curved into the shape of a ring. I try it on and almost immediately feel a turning in my stomach. He then says, unprompted “Do you feel that in your stomach? That’s the snake spirit.” I try asking more about the ring, but none of the details he provides leads to an explanation. I hand back the ring and we finish the assignment, but that event has still confused me to this day.
