Contemplating this and the imagery of the card brings to mind the idea of the personal container. This is renewable energy in the purest sense. Here it is depicted biting its own tail, which represents the cyclical, never-ending, and self-sustaining quality of life. Much along the lines of a creative wellspring, Snake is a symbol of dormant or untapped potential. This is part of the magick of art and why certain actions can feel so divinely led (think - The Chariot). Similarly, when our ideas have been properly cultivated and are ready for harvest, not only do they provide energy (upliftment, excitement, satisfaction), they conserve it because those works tend to unfold almost as if on their own. The garden analogy works because we know when the crops are ready, they not only taste better, they provide the maximum amount of nutrients. For those inspirations that are ripe, there is often ease and a feeling of reciprocity. However, not every creative act elicits a positive energetic response.
What I’ve come to see in working through some of this is that creativity doesn’t just require energy, it produces it in return.
The drive to create is a natural one, but like most things, it can come with its share of frustration and confusion. Keywords/Concepts: Kundalini, creativity, awakening potentialĪs a Talisman: To assist in spiritual awakeningĬollective Message for June 29, 2021: Snake (Ace of Wands)
