Agnus Dei Presents!

She shall crush thy head and give you the boot!

From the Saints:

"God has never made and formed but one enmity; but it is an irreconcilable one, which shall endure and grow even to the end. It is between Mary, His worthy Mother, and the devil - -between the children and servants of the Blessed Virgin, and the children and tools of Lucifer. The most terrible of all the enemies which God has set up against the devil is His Holy Mother Mary. He has inspired Her, even since the days of the earthly paradise, though She existed then only in His idea ... the humble Mary will always have the victory over that proud spirit, and so great a victory that She will go so far as to crush his head, where his pride dwells."

-- St. Louis de Montfort

"Still more was it becoming that God should preserve Her from original sin, for He destined Her to crush the head of that infernal serpent, which, by seducing our first parents, entailed death upon all men: and this our Lord foretold:

'I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.' "

-- St. Alphonsus de Liguori

"There is much evil in the world, but let us not forget the Immaculata is more powerful yet, and that She will crush the infernal serpent's head."

St. Maximilian Kolbe

And so who should we believe? We all have that free-will choice which God desires above all.

We can all think it's just silly symbolism which really doesn't have much meaning in today's "scientific" world.

We, however, will choose with the Saints and follow in prayer the Commander of God's Army, for She, the Woman Clothed With the Sun and first identified in Genesis 3:15, is our Mother; the One who will soon crush the serpent forever.
