The serpent slithers through witchcraft and mythology as a symbol of transformation, hidden wisdom, and forbidden knowledge. In ancient Greece, snakes coiled around the staff of Asclepius as emblems of healing, while in Mesopotamia and Judaic lore they were guardians of sacred truths. The serpent of Eden, entwined with Lilith and the Tree of Knowledge, offered insight at great cost—teaching that wisdom and power often require risk.
For witches, the snake is a powerful familiar. Its shedding of skin represents rebirth and shadow work, urging us to release the old and embrace transformation. Serpents burrow into the dark earth and emerge renewed, guardians of chthonic magic and primal life force. Across cultures, they are tied to fertility, prophecy, and divine cycles—feared by some, revered by others, but always respected for their potency.
This artwork honors the snake as a sacred familiar of witches, weaving together myth, magic, and occult tradition. Perfect for pagan altars, gothic homes, and esoteric collections, it calls upon the serpent’s energy to awaken renewal, healing, and ancient knowledge.
