Followers of my research might notice that the words ka & ba are baked into this Greek word, katabasis, that is related to the "Underworld"
Likewise, followers of my research are more likely to understand why serpent symbolism, initiation, ka, ba, & the Underworld are related.

This is why serpent imagery appears across initiatory systems: not as a warning against sin, but as a marker of incarnation, of spirit descending into matter. The Greeks called this process katabasis, the descent into the underworld or the material plane.
