Serpent – Symbol of Transformation and Wisdom

Coiled power, ancient wisdom, the cycle of shedding and renewal.

 

origins

From the Ouroboros of Egypt to Mesoamerican Quetzalcoatl, serpents were seen as guardians of life force and hidden knowledge.

 

meaning

Transformation, healing, rebirth. The serpent moves between worlds, linking earth and spirit.

 

today

A symbol of awakening energy, inner change, and the courage to release old skins.

 

practice

Imagine yourself shedding an old layer — a belief or habit. Breathe deeply. Ask: what new form is ready to emerge?

 

endurance

The serpent endures because life itself is a cycle — death into birth, endings into beginnings.
