Sara Buckley is the artist behind Serpentseed & Stag. Her work is largely inspired by the intersection between nature and ritual, and the spirits that dwell at that junction. She lives in Delaware with her Shar Pei mix, and plethora of reptiles. Her pockets are full of animal teeth.
The serpentseed doctrine is a fringe belief that Cain, the biblical first murderer, was not the child of Adam but a result of the union of Eve and the tempting serpent in the garden. The descendants of Cain are children of the serpent, carrying the spark of witchblood through countless generations. Cain is largely associated with horned beasts such as heavy antlered deer, and ascribed in some occult circles as the father of witches. The name Serpentseed & Stag pays homage to the lineage of exile and occultism of the serpentseed, and to the firstborn of witch blood, Cain the Stag King. The artist is a devotee of Cain al’ shajarat, the verdant Cain of green gnosis. This occult sub-current is the inspiration for our offerings and creations.
While white supremacists and religious zealots co-opted the doctrine in the 19th century, Serpentseed & Stag openly condemns intolerance, racism, and antisemitism. We hold no place for hate or intolerance.
