Ted Andrews says of Snake Totem Animal:
Snake, in general, is the Universal symbol of the exploration of the mysteries of life. Because the snake represents the unveiling of the sacred mysteries many repressive belief systems have linked snake to evil ideas. (The legend of St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland is one example of these repressive systems using the snake as symbol of evil that had to be eradicated.) The snake is a totem which appears as protection from religious persecution. Throughout history the snake has been the subject of legends linking it to creation, fertility, transformation and sexuality. The snake is fire medicine, the medicine of transmutation and it is the symbol of transformation and healing.
The image of the snake is found on the "Caduceus", The snake must shed its old skin in order to survive, symbolizing death and rebirth. The image of a snake swallowing its own tail is a symbol of eternity. The shedding of the skin is also associated with astral travel and out of body experiences, thus in shedding your skin, the snake symbolically guides you along the path of transformation.
The snake is cosmic consciousness, the ability to experience all things without resistance, and the knowledge that all things are equal in creation. It signals a great transition in life through new opportunities and changes. Native American Totem Animal for "Scorpio"

Crystal skulls have become increasingly popular in recent years. There are many stories about ancient crystal skulls, and many attitudes, beliefs and opinions concerning modern carvings. Lots of people ask, ‘What are they for?’
For many people, there is an initial discomfort – even revulsion. In our culture we often associate skulls with death, and since we have a strange relationship with death, they can be objects of fear. The skull, as a symbol, is used to warn us of poison!
Because of the nature of crystals, when we project such feelings onto crystal skulls, this energy is then amplified, focussed and reflected back.
The skull, as part of the skeleton, does speak to us of the ephemeral nature of life. While we can choose to focus on fear, and how short is our time on Earth, that is not the only choice we can make. We also have the opportunity to focus on the magic of life, on appreciating the wonderful gift of life and expressing gratitude for each treasured moment.
The skull is uniquely human and can remind us of the true nature and purpose of human life – to be an integral part of the whole, in right relationship with Mother Earth and all who live on her. They can remind us of our sacred blueprint and the potential for us to embody a high consciousness. They also remind us of our commonality – that whatever our perceived difference, we are all of the tribe of Human.
While the human skull will become dust and return to Earth, reminding us of our physicality, a crystal skull will last for millenia - thus reminding us of the timeless nature of our soul and spirit.
Because crystal skulls ‘look like us’, once we have overcome the fear of death/poison/pirates, it is easy to relate to them and we can work with the crystal energy for personal healing on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels: for family, lineage, ancestral, karmic healing; to raise consciousness on many levels; to connect with other forms of consciousness; to work for planetary and cosmic healing.
If you feel drawn to work with one, receive it with gratitude into your life. Spend time together. Don’t rush. Take your time. Ask for help and guidance. Ask for teachings. Listen and observe.
Red Jasper has a strong, earthy energy, bringing strength, stability, stamina and endurance. It is a very physical stone and helps us to connect with the soil – the body of Mother Earth. For some it can really help us to understand that we are, literally, made of Earth.
