I saw a snake at the Railway Lands in Lewes the other day...it went right across the path in front of me, I think it was a smallish Grass snake, it was very pretty greeny yellow on its back, shining in the sun.
This is what I found about animal symbolism..... it makes sense to me...

  • Connection between primal forces
  • Integration of opposites
  • Advanced communication
  • Joining together on a divine level
  • Making whole what was once fragmented and doing so in a magical, organic way.
and 

  • A natural ability to balance energies (you're likely a gifted healer)
  • Diplomatic and eloquent in areas of speech and writing
  • Dynamically intuitive (often knowing other's thoughts and emotional states without trying)
  • Impulsive, but not without careful consideration. This may sound paradoxical, but those with the snake totem know what I mean here.
It kind of says what I'm trying to do with my art/creativity and my interest in nature and living more sustainably. And also says about this connection between people which I'm finding quite a challenge at the moment....to simply work with others on a common goal, I know there are many many people out there wanting to or are doing the same things as what I would like to do, but how to get everyone all together?
What does the snake do?
She/He has PATIENCE!
