Spirit Animal - Rattlesnake

image

Rattlesnake has been winding it’s way into my meditations over the last two weeks.  Rattlesnake is a very strong Spirit Guide.  She brings many gifts to increase your power and abilities.  Not only does she blend into her surroundings, she knows how to stay silent and to be still when danger is around.  Hawks, weasels, and other snakes are just some of the predators that love to include Rattlesnake in their diet.

I asked Rattlesnake about the gifts that she brings to working with a human.  She grinned.  She said that many humans reject working with her because they are frightened of her.  She is a tough teacher and guide.  Her gifts, she said, are:

  • Agility and speed.  When Rattler shares these gifts with you, you will move more quickly than you could imagine. You will have a momentary awareness seconds ahead of time, about what the adversary will do, and you can counteract with Rattler’s speed.
  • Power of the hunt.  Rattlesnake is a very good hunter, and the best hunter amongst the snake-kind.  She will help you find whatever it is you are looking for, whether it is food, information, or actual objects.  
  • The ability to shed.  While this seems quite tame compared to her first two gifts, Rattler’s ability to shed her skin translates to you being able to shed all the things that do not serve you, and gives you the ability to shed ill health, injury, and other harm to your person.  Shedding is a powerful gift.

I thanked Rattler for coming in to see me.  She asked that if you are interested in talking to her, that you call her into your meditation, and that you chat.  Do not be surprised if she tests you.

  4. Hi Syama,

    When Rattlesnake bites, she is telling you to pay attention. Do you need to shed something, someone, somewhere, that is not serving you any longer? Do you need to send notice to someone to leave you alone? Perhaps you need to tell them that they are on dangerous ground with you. Blessings, Judy

  5. I am a very spiritual person, I live in the woods of Northern California, Rattlers are not uncommon. In the last month my dog has been bitten twice close to home. Yesterday I found her coiled up in my home and felt compelled to transfer her energy to another plane of existence so she could not bite me my friends or my dogs ever . One of my neighbors every time he finds a rather just move them to other places in the woods but that's why I think we keep having problems, I understand the potency of snake medicine and I also understand the reality of energy transfer and never leaving, what are your thoughts on this?

  6. Hi Truth1111 - When Rattler or other of the snake-kind show up over and over, there is a message that she is trying to share that perhaps you are not getting. Rattler does not normally invade other's space unless there is a reason. Is there something or someone, or even some beliefs that you are unwilling to shed? Is it time to pay attention to your dreams. Sometimes, we need to ask the power animal why they are showing up and what it is they want us to do or what they need from us. Perhaps Rattler is asking you for a partnership? Blessings, Judy

Thanks for reading this blog post. Sharing is good if it is kind and either has questions or tells about an experience.

Blessings,
