Keeper of the Transformation
She stands as a symbol of healing, growth, and renewal. Dressed in the lush green of nature, she embodies the deep nourishment of the earth, reminding us that healing is not only a process of letting go but also of grounding ourselves in what truly sustains us.
In her hands, she carries the powerful medicine of the snake, emerging from the ancient spiral. The snake, long associated with transformation, rebirth, and healing, reminds us of the cyclical nature of life. Just as the snake sheds its skin, we too must release what no longer serves us, making way for new growth. The spiral, a universal symbol of evolution and expansion, represents the journey of life—the ongoing process of shedding, learning, and emerging anew. Together, the snake and spiral weave a powerful metaphor for transformation, illustrating how we are constantly spiraling through cycles of renewal.
In her right hand, the traditional hand of giving, she holds a piece of snakeskin, a reminder of the old skin she has shed. This old skin, though it served her well, is no longer needed, for she has grown a new layer, more aligned with her true self. The shedding represents the process of releasing old identities and beliefs that have fulfilled their purpose, making space for her to step fully into her evolving self.
