Used by Hermes, the CADUCEUS was a wing-topped staff tool that looked as if two snakes spiraled around the main shaft. This gyrostatic wand device may have once been useful in stabilizing the flight of Hermes' glider. It is now identified with the symbol of healing because it was once capable of entertaining observers with amazing aerial acrobatic tricks and therefore curing injured minds. See GOLDEN FLEECE.
