SNAKE - THE POWER of LIFE CYCLE
Snakes have long been feared, and people protected themselves against them with spells and charms, as described in the Kalevala. Especially the viper appears several times on the pages of the Kalevala.
Snakes living in rock crevices were seen as symbols of the underworld, yet vipers were also believed to possess magical healing powers against various illnesses. The snake is a universal symbol of the cycle of life – it can bring forth new life, renew itself by shedding its skin, retreat into hibernation for the winter, and awaken again with the warmth of spring. In addition, the snake is associated with power, protection, fertility, wisdom, and renewal.
Get thee hence to yonder heather,
Quick retreat to bog and stubble,
Hide thyself in reeds and rushes,
In the brambles of the lowlands.
Kalevala, rune 26
