A caduceus is a rod with wings on top, wrapped around two snakes looking at each other.
The rod of the caduceus is symbolically connected with the tree of life, the axis of the world, and the snakes are associated with the cyclical rebirth of nature, with the restoration of universal order when it is violated.
The snakes on the caduceus indicate the hidden dynamics in what is outwardly stable, symbolize two multidirectional flows (up and down), the connection of heaven and earth, God and man (the wings on the caduceus also indicate the connection of heaven and earth, spiritual and material) — everything that is born on earth comes from heaven and, after passing the path of trials and sufferings, gaining life experience, it must rise to heaven.
