Today we shed what we have grown apart from. The time has come to put on our new skins, as they are tougher and more resilient than ever. Allow the age old wisdom of snake medicine to seep into your very pores and let the poison from within be released. Sometimes we are in need of doing just that, and as we enter into the Winter Winds of December… we need to set our place as the Solstice comes closer.
This is not an easy task to accomplish, sometimes it take excruciating time and space to accomplish it, but with the help of the Snake Medicines that are showing themselves today… it is possible. It is healthy and is needed. I always am surprised as the cards fall each day just how appropriate they are for the circumstances… So we need to quit dwelling on it and just Do it… EMPOWER OURSELVES…. and get this “Stuff Done!” No excuses….
Snake Is a difficult teacher at times, and one that is not easy to master. Lessons that Snake brings with it are of life cycles and change, remembering as we grow we shed and transform into new energies and new experiences. Snake also teaches us about poison and that we need to be able to rid ourselves of the toxins can be placed within our Sacred Hoops. Don’t let the poisons kill us
Snake can be a hard teacher. His lessons involve a transmutation of the cycle of life, death and rebirth. Snake symbolizes this cycle with the shedding of his skin. We learn to the whole energy of life, the cosmic consciousness and have the willingness to experience anything without resistance. It is also about the poisons that we might take in. Those poisons can be eaten or ingested in some way but they also may be integrated into our lives. The goal is to not let the poisons taint our body or spirit.
Since Snakes can shed they teach us about the levels of our human, of our spirituality, our experiences. It is time to seek our inner knowledge before moving ahead with decisions. It is time to coil and go within to make sure we are well prepared before we strike out.
Snake also reminds us as it makes its way across the Great Mother Earth, to ground ourselves, to use our energy wisely and not to rely on primal instincts of lashing out. For at times it is more empowering to hold back and use that knowledge that energy in wise ways. At other times it is best to strike and seize the moment with a precision and quickness. Snakes often retreat long before biting defensively because they sense that it may cause consequences/damage to others and drain you of healing energy. Snake is also very old and powerful healing medicine. Once harnessed, Snake will help you to position yourself carefully so that you will trust your gut when making important decisions.
