  note for start see> CADUCEUS emphasizing
       THE STAFF OF HERMES or MERCURY
  note here the emphasis is on the
       STAFF or the CADUCEUS of AESCULAPIUS
  A SIMPLE STICK
  UNADORNED NEITHER BY RIBBONS nor BY WINGS
  SUPPORTING ONE and not TWO SERPENTS
  myth> THE STAFF OF AESCULAPIUS became confused with
        THE CADUCEUS or STAFF OF HERMES perhaps because
  similarities with ORIENTAL MAGIC CURATIVE STICKS
  decorated with RIBBONS AND SNAKES as SYMBOLS OF HEALING
  or alternatively ORIENTAL MAGIC MEDICAL STICKS
  IMITATED THE EMBLEMS OF THE ANCESTORS OF HERMES
  hx> A CADUCEUS WAS ALSO AN EMBLEM OF ROMAN AUGURS and of
      ROMAN AMBASSADORS RELYING ON DIPLOMATIC DOUBLE TALK
  hx> A CADUCEUS WAS ADOPTED BY SOME CHRISTIAN BISHOPS and
      RENAMED as a CROSIER or VEXILLUM
  myth> MERCURY or HERMES used DIVINE ELOQUENCE thus
        was DIPLOMATIC and his core mission was to
  ACHIEVE THE CONFLUENCE OF OPPOSITE INTEREST
  note HERMES with APHRODITE had HERMAPHRODITE
       A CHILD WITH CONFLUENCE OF MALE FEMALE TRAITS
  hx> PARADE MARSHALS or ARMY MARSHALS MARCH HOLDING
      A CADUCEUS BATON or STAFF AS AN EMBLEM OF POWER
  myth> in the hands of VISHNU [#] his staff or DANDA
        becomes incarnated as VAMAN the DWARF
  note PILGRIM'S STAFF can be seen as
       the AXIS of the WORLD
  note the BRAHMA DANDA can be shown as
       TWO SPIRAL LINES COILED IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS
  like the COILING of the TWO TANTRIC NADI or
  TWO SERPENTS as on the CADUCEUS of HERMES
  it implies the CONTRA FLOW or COUNTERFLOW implying
  OPPOSITE FLOW OF TWO COSMIC ENERGIES
