"It seems that Yig, the snake-god of the central plains tribes--presumably the primal source of the more southerly Quetzalcoatl or Kukulcan--was an odd, half-anthropomorphic devil of highly arbitrary and capricious nature. He was not wholly evil, and was usually quite well-disposed toward those who gave proper respect to him and his children, the serpents; but in the autumn he became abnormally ravenous, and had to be driven away by means of suitable rites. That was why the tom-toms in the Pawnee, Wichita, and Caddo country pounded ceaselessly week in and week out in August, September, and October; and why the medicine-men made strange noises with rattles and whistles curiously like those of the Aztecs and Mayas."
-H. P. Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop, "The Curse of Yig"
