Snakes are some of the oldest creatures, and they have certainly made it into the iconography for many different paths. World Snake Day is celebrated today. This is a perfect time to connect to the ouroboros, which is the symbol depicting a snake swallowing its own tail. This symbol represents the cycle of renewal and infinity.

To connect with the ouroboros, find a comfortable place to sit and meditate. Relax and picture in your mind the serpent circling in on itself. Ask yourself what you need to circle back in on and recreate in your life. Hold that thought in your mind’s eye and feel the energy of the snake circling around you and back in on itself. Let the energy build until you are ready to release it into the universe for it to begin working.
