Across time and many cultures, snakes have symbolized the regenerative powers of the psyche and the cyclical nature of the human condition. The Ouroboros, which roots date back to ancient Egypt, is just one example of this image. Furthermore, snakes have long been associated with feminine power. In history and in myths, women like Cleopatra, Medusa,  and even Taylor Swift, have all been associated with this mystical and intriguing creature as a symbol of feminine resilience and empowerment.

Thus, the symbol of the snake reminds us that through self-awareness and confronting the death of the "old self," we can shed ourselves of our old "skins", allowing us to heal and transform through embracing our authentic Self.
