Snake

Your Spirit Animal is the Snake. The Snake is a very unusual animal, on the one hand symbolizing strong spiritual knowledge and power, but also engendering fear in many people. The snake tends to be a mysterious and misunderstood creature and so those who have the snake will probably find that people react to them strangely sometimes.

If the snake has come into your life it is likely to be encouraging you to explore your creative and intuitive powers. You are probably a strong natural healer, and the snake encourages you to go further with this.

Snakes are wise but also willing to experience new things (particularly related to consciousness and magick) that others may not dare to do. Snakes in the wild shed their skin and so they offer the magic and power of transmutation and rebirth. If the snake is your totem you have new worlds awaiting you!

The darker side of the snake is when these abilities are not properly expressed and in this case the snake can represent anger and violence, something which must be avoided.

Like all animals, the snake represents both negative and positive qualities. In the view of the Native Americans we can learn from our spirit animal by studying both types of qualities and striving to improve further at the positive ones and avoid the negative ones.

Positive Traits: Healer, Psychic, Spiritual, Powerful, Sensitive
Negative Traits: Secretive, Frightening, Violent
