Icchadhari Naag

   

  

Icchadhari Naag(male) or naagin(female) are mythical shape-shifting cobras in indian folklore.These creatures would obtain their power of shape shifting by living for 100 years and not biting any innocent living beings.The Ichadhari Naag is said to have had the abilities to mask itself to the surroundings & even mimic the behavior of higher order mammals such as human beings. The most curious thing is its unusually high loyalty towards its mating partner. The female companion in turn is known to inflict severe & life threatening injuries on anyone who attempts to harm the male during the mating cycle.
Ichchadhari Nag or Naagin, in snake form, possess a gem called "Nag Mani", considered much more valuable than a diamond. Legends tell of many people losing their lives through snake bite, when the snakes took revenge for stolen Mani, or if either of a pair of snakes was killed.

These stories are as true as our Superhero movies. So wouldn't it be cool if Nagin could join Avengers or X-men or Justice League instead of just taking revenge 

Most of the human being worships them.Most of them worships Icchadhari Naag or Naagin.Many people worshop in many different ways..Legends tell of many people losing their lives through snake bites,when the snakes took revenge for stolen Mani,or if either of a pair of snakes dies by human.According to the legend,the snakes can be controlled using Been,the musical instrument used by snake charmers.It is believed that it is the idol of snakes,but there is no proof of this.These types of snakes will take revenge on anyone who disturbs them.

What is a Naagmani(Snake-Stone) A Snake stone also knwon as viper's stone,black stone,scharwrze Steine,perries noire ,piedritas negras or serpent .Naagmani is an animal bone or stone used as folk medicine for snake bite in Africa,South America and Asia.

The early Celtic era European Adder stone is also called as a snake stone, and is usually made with coloured glass, often with holes.The purpose of this stone is to protect against evil spirits rather than snake bites.

Experts are concerned that relying on a black stone may prevent snakebite victims from seeking appropriate medical help. No scientific study has shown that black stones are effective, but, most guidelines for snakebite first-aid stress the need for keeping the victim calm. Because acute stress reaction increases blood flow and endangers the victim. 

Persian/Iranian writer Kazwini describes the snake-stone as being the size of a small nut. An injury inflicted by a venomous creature is to be immersed in warm water or sour milk. The snake-stone is then dropped into the liquid to supposedly draw out the poison.

Although it's called 'stone', in the Congo a Black Stone is often made from animal bones. When taken from snakes, it is usually from the head, but also said to be extracted from the tail.

The steps suggested in an African leaflet are:

·         Choose a large dry cow thigh bone

·         Cut it into small pieces

·         Smooth them with sandpaper

·         Wrap the pieces in foil

·         Place in a charcoal fire for 15 to 20 minute

Views on snake-stones expressed in scientific studies

A Nigerian study recommended "education on the need to avoid the use of popular first aid measures of doubtful benefit. The same doctors later reported that Black Stones may be beneficial, but "those who used the black stone required significantly higher quantity of antivenom as compared to those that used the tourniquet".
