Protective and Playfulness; Tiger to Snake spirit
While I was out walking in the garden I came across a snake and was instantly inspired to share this with the collective. The Tiger spirit has helped us awaken our strength
So as we transition from Tiger Spirit to Snake Spirit symbolizes a profound shift in your healing journey from external strength and assertive power to inner wisdom, subtle transformation, and spiritual rebirth.
🐅 Tiger Spirit: The Fierce Awakener
Tiger energy is bold, primal, protective, and passionate. It often represents:
Survival & Strength: Standing your ground and fiercely defending your healing path.
Power Through Fire: Moving through trauma with determination and willpower.
Awakening: A call to reclaim personal sovereignty and face fear head-on.
Tiger spirit often appears when you need to ROAR, to be seen, to set boundaries, and to burn away what no longer serves you.
🐍 Snake Spirit: The Sacred Transformer
As you evolve into Snake Spirit, the healing becomes deeper, quieter, and more rooted in intuition and the soul.
Snake teaches you:
To shed—old pain, limiting stories, roles you’ve outgrown.
To trust—your intuition, your cycles, your quiet power.
To move with grace—in stillness, uncertainty, and mystery.
To rebirth—yourself again and again, becoming closer to your truth each time.
🕊️ A Message from Spirit:
You do not lose your fire when you learn to flow.
You are not weaker when you become still.
You are not hiding—you are healing.
Let your skin fall. Let your roots deepen. Let your medicine become sacred.
The Garter Snake (often mistakenly called “Gardner Snake”) carries rich spiritual symbolism, especially in the realm of healing, transformation, and personal growth. Seeing or connecting with a garter snake can be a meaningful sign, particularly for those on a healing journey or undergoing a spiritual awakening.
LETS DIVE DEEPER:
🌿 Spiritual Meaning & Healing Energy of the Garter Snake:
🌀 Transformation & Rebirth
Like all snakes, the garter snake sheds its skin — a powerful metaphor for letting go of the past, outdated beliefs, trauma, and emotional wounds. Spiritually, this represents:
Shedding shame or guilt
Moving beyond limiting patterns
Entering a new phase of healing or self-discovery
💚 Earth Medicine & Natural Wisdom
Garter snakes are deeply connected to the earth element. They are grounded, intuitive guides that remind us to:
Listen to the wisdom of nature
Trust our body’s natural healing rhythm
Practice stillness and presence
🧬 Kundalini Energy & Feminine Power
In some traditions, snakes represent kundalini energy—the coiled serpent of spiritual energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine. Garter snakes can symbolize:
Awakening of inner power
Reclaiming sexuality or sacred femininity
Spiritual rebirth through trauma recovery
🐍 Protection & Subtlety
Unlike more aggressive snakes, garter snakes are gentle and non-venomous, reminding us that:
Protection doesn’t always look loud or forceful.
Healing can be quiet, steady, and intuitive.
Sometimes, the softest approach leads to the deepest release.
🕊️ A Healing Message from the Garter Snake
“You are safe to change. You are safe to shed. Let the old stories fall away like a skin you no longer need. You are protected, even when invisible. Your medicine is gentle but powerful. Trust the path you’re slithering into—quietly, courageously, and whole.”
