This is a death and rebirth cycle. This cycle is not necessarily a physical death but a death of a situation. These creatures are very sensitive to touch and vibration and are cold-blooded.
Snakes have speed on their side and an uncanny ability to strike when necessary.
Some use Snake Medicine as a grounding totem to stay close to Mother Earth. When in snake medicine the color orange seems to be beneficial as this color seems to enhance energy levels. Patience also appears to be a virtue of the snake as he is usually very slow to anger. Also, when a snake feeds due to its jaw structure it can take the prey whole and then digest. This is a sign that we are able at times to take in a lot of information or new ideas at once and then stretch out our own individual process of digesting the information.
