.:|:. Dove Love’s .:. Points and Passions .:|:.

By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com  Wow, a lot of magic going on right now.  I pulled up an MS Paint pic I did almost exactly a year ago (amazing that I’ve been doing these that long).  It was one of the first ones… I wasn’t that thrilled with it, so I played with it this morning.  I really like the new version, it indicated it was “Goddess.” 

I was about to post it just now when I heard a guy in front of me (my reception desk) talking about a rattlesnake experience.  So I felt it was a totem for me.  It also reminded me that a guy about an hour ago was also standing right here talking to me, and he mentioned “cobra” (speaking of a vehicle).  So it seemed clear that I was getting the snake totem in general.  Here’s a link to my snake totem post. 

This rattlesnake interpretation (below) intrigues me because it mentions the number 16 (and “Mother Goddess”), a number I’ve been getting prolifically this week (I spoke of it in one of my “Jesus” posts).  It ties to the “Tower” card in the Tarot…  But I feel this is pointing to something that is a positive, unlike the rough-ride Tower experiences usually bring. 

Another part of all of this is a multitude of “lightning” messages this week…  It all seems to be a strong message about creativity (Cobra is the King of Wands in the Animal-Wise Tarot and this has been a message about significant creative ventures for me in the past) and it also seems to be about healing and clearing away of the old ways… 

Another sync with this totem, I showed a recent MS Paint pic, “Wild Elephants and Hollow Cake” to a co-worker, he said the cake reminded him of a rattlesnake’s tail.

Here’s the pic I did this morning, “Goddess.”  It’s interesting that the previous eyeball had been something that looked like the Earth, but it’s now become a spiral.

Peace,
Dove

Rattlesnake Totem

Rattlesnake is one of four venomous snakes native to California. Rattlesnake belongs to the pit viper family. There are 16 rattlesnake varieties and numerous colors, with distinct shape patterns. Rattlesnake is approximately four feet long and its body is covered with small scales. It has no eye lids and no legs. All rattlers are positively identified by the jointed rattles on the end of their tail. Rattlesnakes are dangerous and when disturbed, coils up and rattles a warning. If it is cornered, it will definitely strike. Rattlesnake hibernates in winter in deep dark crevices and ledges. When temperatures begins to warm in early spring, snake crawls out to hunt for rodents, lizards, squirrels and small rabbits.

All snakes are symbolic of death and rebirth because they shed their skin as they outgrow the old. In ancient times snakes signified the mysterious; they were primitive symbols of the Great Mother Goddess. If rattlesnake is your power animal there will be significant changes in some area of your life. You are going through a major transitional period. Try to make conscious choices and pay attention to your dreams which may contain valuable information about those changes. Make sure of the intention of others before you strike out at them. Rattlesnake’s message is change and renewal. Perhaps you need to take time out to digest new information or knowledge. Attend a Goddess workshop and get closer to nature. You are most powerful when you meditate, or spend some (quiet) time outdoors.
