Ordinary as a green grass snake yet extraordinary too, Snake may surprise us with its many guises. Is it no wonder that Snake engenders such strong reactions from humans? To face Snake means facing a shadow part of ourselves that we have long denied. Snake’s story is much larger, more involved and interconnected to our own than most of us would ever imagine. I believe there is very good reason why Snake frightens so many. Snake protects a knowledge best not accessed until we are emotionally, consciously, and spiritually mature. Still and silent, Snake energy may remain dormant in our most secret spaces or manifest in frightful ways to keep us distant - until we are ready to awaken. Like its sister totem Dragon, Snake guards a treasure both powerful and dangerous. From its role in the Garden of Eden and that first bite of forbidden knowledge to the power of kundalini rumbling up and down our spine, Spirit of Snake speaks to human awakening and spiritual evolution. Yet time and again, I found something remarkable. Following it was a twisty, curvy, one-thing-leading-to-another adventure. Throughout my journey, I rarely knew where Snake’s path would lead. Whether traveling through remote jungles of the mythic past, burrowing into the subconscious, or exploring the dreamworld, an ability to discern pattern and engage insights from a variety of disciplines is useful. In order to understand Snake, it is helpful to become a bit snakelike - adaptable, curious, with eyes wide open. We will explore not only Snake’s physical presence on earth but also its larger mythic story and the ways it continues to influence human consciousness today. This book is a dream-inspired look at Snake - from the secrets and surprises of its biology to the many varied ways that humans interact with this profoundly amazing and most mysterious of creatures. And she offers practical techniques to journey with Snake through inner worlds, to shed confining aspects of self, and to integrate experiences more holistically.īrunke shows how we need to re-embrace the ancient power of Snake to better support our return to a more balanced consciousness-one that reunites nature with spirit, sacred masculine with sacred feminine-as we strive for global change and personal awakening. She shares psycho-activating stories to help trigger transformation and provide graceful movement through the chaos of change.
She explores why snakes show up in shamanic journeys and transformational dreams and how their unique presence in our world can serve as catalysts of change, truth-telling, and enlightenment.Įxamining Snake’s role in awakening human consciousness, Brunke considers the alchemical role of the serpent as well as Snake’s connections to ancient healing, modern medicine, and even the DNA molecule. Brunke reveals how myths that originally extolled the virtues of Snake and Goddess were refashioned, recreating their images as debased and untrustworthy. Uncovering ties between Snake and Goddess, the author demonstrates how both were systematically suppressed millennia ago with the spread of a patriarchal perspective that valued mastery over nature, God over Goddess. How did this happen and why do humans continue to fear and vilify Snake? Inspired by a vivid dream of an immense snake that lost its tail, animal communicator Dawn Baumann Brunke investigates the interwoven history of Snake and humanity and explores how we can once again access Snake’s wisdom and harness its powerful ability to heal, transform, and awaken. But with the story of Adam and Eve, Snake became the enemy-a tempter and deceiver.
In ancient times, Snake served as protector and advisor to gods, goddesses, and royalty.
