There are spirits of a kind who had so scorned the body during their bodily life, that they hate it, and could not bear being told that they had been clothed with a body. There were some tarrying in this region who spoke with me, and they said they did not like to come here, because here people imagine they are clothed with a body, which is insulting to them. Here they are constantly thinking about bodily matters, and then they portray these spirits as having bodies like themselves. This resulted in the appearance that they portrayed snakes, which they sent against them. These snakes attack them, but from without, and are quickly pulled off. In fact, they even bind their both arms with snakes, which they shake off with annoyance. When I asked what this was, they replied that spirits of this earth cause them this kind of annoyance, because they think they are with bodies, because of which they call themselves human beings, but these spirits do not think of themselves in this way, so their thoughts do not agree. Hence they portray this scene to them.
