This archive contains field notes, reflections, recordings, and related materials connected to serpent handling churches and the communities where these practices are present.

The materials come from specific fieldwork encounters, conversations, and documented services. They reflect particular moments in time and place rather than a complete record of all churches or practices.

Not everything that was seen or learned is included here. Some materials are withheld for reasons of privacy, consent, or relevance to the archive’s scope.

The archive is organized to document what was encountered rather than to provide a full account or definitive explanation.
