At the other end of the room was the snake altar, with two attendants, and the rest of the space was occupied by the priests, squatted cross-legged upon the floor, each with a rattle in his left hand, amongst whom I had taken my place. After the ceremonial pipe had been lit by the pipe-lighter, it was handed to the Snake Chief, wh...o puffed smoke several times into the liquid, and then passed the pipe along. Then, swiftly, began and transpired the actual snake-washing, which I will let Dr. Fewkes describe, though four times I THE HOPI SNAKE DANCE 125 have been privileged to witness it, and actually take part in it: Just then the Snake priests, who stood by the snake jars, began to take out the reptiles, and stood holding several of them in their hands behind Su-pe-la, so that my attention was distracted by them. Su-pe-la then prayed, and after a short interval two rattlesnakes were handed him, after which other venomous snakes were passed to the others, and each of the six priests who sat around the bowl held two rattlesnakes by the necks, with their heads elevated above the bowl.
