    A cosmic deity who is an intense lover of all things reptile, and a reptile expert. Yig was rarely malicious, although she would enter a feeding frenzy in Autumn, leading her worshippers in Oklahoma to drum constantly from August through to October to drive her away. They would make offerings of corn to appease her. To those who hurt or kill reptiles, she will curse them with the ‘Curse of Yig’, turning them into a spotted snake. Loves to elongate her ‘s’ in sentences.
