Snake challenges us to see that we have our place, and to remember a sense of humility when we conduct ourselves. Likewise when we hurt ourselves so that we believe we're less than everyone or everything, we do damage. When we take the time to either feed our ego so that we think we're better than everyone or everything, we do damage to our spirits. We are not more important than other humans or other creatures, nor are we less important. Snake reminds us of our place in the scheme of things. Try drawing them, or researching art that features these images. Spirals too show us paths within or without, they show that our energy is constantly moving in a spiral pattern. The circle itself is a very multi-layered symbolism, indicating the soul, safe-place, the world, the inner world, among many other things. Both are very sacred images in many earth spiritualities. Investigate the significance of circles and spirals at this time. Snake also asks us to see that the wisdom of having and using power comes with acknowledging that there is great responsibility when we are able to influence how we live our lives and the lives of others. Snake challenges us to see if we hurt others with our power, or if we hurt ourselves.
How we use power in our lives (or don't use it) determines how helpless we feel, and how much control we have, both over ourselves and others. Snake teaches power, and the wisdom of learning to use power. Investigate the energies of the 'Creator' deities. Are you being asked to research deity, or to get in contact with both your inner divine and outer divine? Research mythologies and myths about snake, and about the birth of the world. When snake comes into your life, there is a high chance that there might be a god / goddess energy nearby or directly responsible. Snake has been a sacred animal of many gods and goddesses in hundreds of cultures for many thousands of years. The energy of snake is also the energy of the god and the goddess. Snake teaches us to rebirth ourselves, to become our own creator of our life. Snake reminds us that we are not that far away from our primitive, primordial beginnings, and helps us to realise the power we have to change our own world. Snake brings us back to the birth of the world, the time when everything was new and there was great potential for change and progression.
This can be quite an overwhelming knowledge, and for this reason snake can sometimes be a challenging teacher. Snake teaches us that we are inter-connected, that we are both a part of a microcosm in the smaller cultures and ecosystems, and also part of a great macrocosm which includes all living things. When snake comes into our lives, it is often for profound reasons that help to remind us of our connection to the world and sacredness in general. Some of the more well-known snakes in Australia are the mulga, brown, tiger snake, python, taipan and the dugite. Snakes in Australia lay eggs, or give birth via live birth. As reptiles, they are dependent on sunlight to fuel their movement. Snakes move via contracting and releasing their muscles. Snakes primarily use scent receptors on their tongue to aid in smelling for prey and new situations, this is why they often flick their tongue. Snakes can see, hear and smell quite well. Snakes are also common in the Indigenous mythologies of Australia, being indicated as the creators of the earth, water, and much that we see and know around us. In Australia, snakes are common, and venomous snakes well known to the residents (we have over 100). The snake is probably one of the most well-known and much-feared of carnivorous reptiles worldwide. Reminding us of our place in the scheme of things.
