Snake - Celtic Animalsby *Illahie

Artisan Crafts / Jewelry

Snakes are strongly associated with rebirth and healing as well as wisdom. The Scottish lore on snakes is very similar to the Irish lore of the salmon.

Many traditional poems about the festival of Imbolc, or the day of the goddess Brighid, include the re-awakening of the snakes at spring, as they come out of their winter hiding places. They are also found guarding important treasures in some Celtic lore, and can therefore also be viewed as guardians.

The Snake brings rebirth and healing into your life, and allows for a fresh, new start.

Item is available as Silver and Gold pendant, (approx 25mm tall); [link]

The shedding of the skin is where I think the idea comes from

Same could be said for birds & their multing. In a way, I think the bird would be more fitting. Especially, a phoenix.
