150 million years ago, the majority of snake species got rid of everything that could hinder them in their primary function as stealthy predators. In a way, even a lizard has the ability to make itself more sympathetic than a snake, since it can squint its eyes and its paws willingly remind us of our very distant reptilian kinship. On the contrary, the snake is devoid of any expressive faculty.
In this area, it is the dog that excels, since unlike its ancestor the wolf, it stares us directly in the eye and manages to express all kinds of feelings and intentions through facial expressions that it reserves exclusively for us and does not use with its congeners. Human beings need an expressive response to their looks in order to attach themselves to a living being. Its magnetic beauty is matched only by our difficulty in feeling empathy for it. Its discreet way of life, its strange way of moving, its inability to close its eyes, its ability to defend itself or attack with exceptional vivacity, all of this contributes to making the snake such a misunderstood and fascinating animal. The snake occupies a special place in the mythological, religious and psychoanalytical bestiary. © KarmaWeather by Konbi - All rights reservedĬover photo by LongitudeLatitude ( source, license) Changes: framing The snake, a singular animal Snake Dreams: Origins, Symbolic, Psychological and Spiritual Meaning and Interpretation of the 10 Most Common Snake Dreams By KarmaWeather - 21 April 2022
