The Definitive Guide to Snake's Role as a Totem and Spiritual Messenger Few creatures embody the process of spiritual transformation so well as the snake, who must repeatedly shed its skin in order to grow. For those wishing to walk the path of spiritual growth, Snake assists in sloughing off the wounds of the past and the limiting beliefs they created so that the authentic Self may emerge. From the author: "To walk with Snake is to experience a liberation of the Self that defies words. It is an opening and an expanding, a releasing and a reorienting, and a reveling in our personal Truth. Is it courage, and it is love, and it is transformation of the highest order-not a becoming of someone else, but an unearthing of who we ARE."
