I'm confident that the serpent is time and the Seers are Primaries. I feel like we're supposed to be convinced the demon is The Witness but it could also be Jones.

There once was a serpent that always traveled in one direction, always forward, never backwards = Time used to move linearly, always from the past into the future.

Until one day, the serpent came upon a demon = One day, time was messed with by The Witness (or Jones since she created the time machine).

The demon cursed the serpent, driving him insane and causing him to eat his own tail = The Witness (or Jones) used time travel to create this crazy loop that we have been watching. Now the cycle has been endlessly repeating, much like a snake eating its own tail.

Those who cannot see the serpent, but knew to follow him, were lost = Everybody. All of humanity is stuck following time, not realizing we're all trapped in a loop.

But a few who were seers...created a weapon = The Primaries (Jennifer and Athan for example) have unlocked the secret (Jennifer's drawings). We definitely aren't supposed to know the weapon though. It's contained in Jennifer's visions for sure though They hid the weapon in the snake's den, where he waited for his madness to end. = Probably the temporal facility?

But it never did. For the seers discovered that the only one who could wield the weapon was the Demon itself. = This is particularly interesting. No idea.

And so the serpent was doomed to wait in madness...forever. = Are we going to ever get of this loop or not? Doesn't look good!

I'm pretty confident in my analysis of the above but I'm not 100% sold on the Demon being Olivia. It probably is, but I'm not going to commit 100% to it.
