#SNAKE VS BLOCK SNAKE TRANSPARENTA SKIN#
The shedding of the skin is also associated with astral travel and out of body experiences. This is very significant to those with snake as power animal, symbolising our ability to shed beliefs and habits which we have outgrown, moving into higher spiritual energy. When snakes shed their skin, they metamorphose into a new being. The snake also represents aliveness, as expressed in sensuality – in this case meaning feeling and responding to stimuli, and more generally, to the flow of energy which creates us and makes us alive.
This is just a start to the contradictory attitudes towards Snake. The apple the snake gave Eve was from the Tree of Knowledge.
Patrick bragged that he had driven all of the snakes out of Ireland, he meant the Druids. Sadly, the more stiff practitioners of the Judeo-Christianism seemed to fear wisdom. The Celts sometimes called the Druids, leaders and teachers in poetry, music, the law, spiritual wisdom, and healing, adders. More repressive belief systems have linked snake to evil. In religions where sexuality, in both its physical and spiritual aspects is celebrated, Snake has been held with honour. John, wound around a cross sometimes portrayed with a woman’s head to depict lust and temptation.įor time immemorial people have associated Snake with both male and female aspects of sexuality. Christian lore sees the snake rising from the chalice of St. Snake was also considered to represent inner vision. In Egypt the cobra was known for its ability to expand the upper neck into a disc shape by spreading its ribs, symbolizing immortality. In Israel the snake was regarded as the earth mother and played a role in fertility. This flow of energy is indispensable for good health, and the Greeks, in their own understanding of this, used the snake as a symbol of healing and wisdom. This is also shown in the worldwide symbol of the spiral. As we mature emotionally and spiritually, the energy rises, stimulating the chakras, which are emotional, mental, and spiritual energy centres. In Hinduism, kundalini, or serpent fire, is coiled at the base of the spine. We see the snake enticing Eve in the Garden of Eden, being symbolized as Vinata the Indian goddess, or shown as the legs of Cernunnos the Celtic fertility god. On one level, the differences relate to sexuality. Nowhere are the differences between cultures and religions more sharply emphasized than in their attitudes towards Snake, differences which will also uncover different vistas on elementary aspects of being alive. Throughout history the snakes have had many legends surrounding them, linking them to creation, fertility and transformation. Then we are able to use our vitality and desires to achieve wholeness. As Snake sheds its skin so we can shed our illusions and limitations.
