Hi Anthony,
I would like to hear more on the Plumed Serpent or Winged Serpent.
Here are some photos of a totem I carved of this serpent.
It is used as a totem on a Native American flute.

I am of the opinion that this is one of those alegorical legends which bridges many belief systems. I relate it to the Serpent Fire or kundalini of India and the rod of Moses which turned into a serpent.
Also the serpent as seen on the crowns of Pharoahs on their foreheads. And in fact their whole head dress seems to imply the cowl or hood of a serpent ready to strike.
It is my belief that the kings chamber in the Great Pyramid ("fire in the middle") of Giza was used as an initiation chamber to usher Pharoahs into the beginning of this process. The use of the sarcophagus would then have been a kind of Baptism (being buried and rising again to a new, different life). This would account for the belief that the pharoahs were "gods", so to speak having gone beyond normal men because of the experience that this ceremony was trying to bring about.
The descending Plumed Serpent at Chitchen Itza sp? would agree with my teacher's belief and that of the Qabala that the Kundalini does not start at the location of the tailbone, but comes from far "above" and "outside of us. (The "winged" or "Plumed" serpent) comes down through the Crown chakra and down the spine where it then turns and rises from the tailbone area.
The Plumed Serpent at Chitchen Itza only appears at the Spring Equinox when everything is in balance. There and then it is seen descending the side of the staircase just as Spirit descends into the initiate and then becoming the serpent fire it rises.Bob
