Why is snake considered sacred?

Snake represents healing (caduceus), kundalini energy, shedding old patterns, and medicine. Snake is a healer archetype in many cultures.

What does snake shedding teach?

Snake literally sheds its skin to grow. This teaches that transformation requires releasing old identities, beliefs, and behaviors without regret.

Snake carries no moral judgment. Snake teaches respect for shadow power, personal authority, and navigating life's mysteries with awareness.

Kundalini is spiritual energy coiled at the spine. Snake guides awakening this dormant power for healing, enlightenment, and full embodiment.
