Pythons are sacred and deified snakes that are worshiped according to specific rituals in many parts of Africa. Called Dangbe in Fongbe, the language of the Fon people of the Benin Republic,children are initiated into the secrets of dangbe in quidah and the worship goes on through life.
Pythons are primary divinities. Indeed, in the Republic of Benin, the Vodun pantheon is generally classified into three main groups: the Primary Divinities, the Secondary Divinities, and the Tertiary Divinities, the latter group including clan spirits, local divinities, and personal gods.
In the Fon cosmology, the Dangbй has opened up the eyes of the universe for the creation of human beings and is, hence, a god of creation and protector of humanity.
