Hi FireShifter, exploring snake symbolism is really fascinating since it varies so much. You might find the book “The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images” by the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism insightful—it provides rich cross-cultural perspectives on snake imagery. Also, the podcast episode “The Meanings Behind Snake Symbols” on On Being offers thoughtful discussions on how snakes represent transformation, danger, and healing in different contexts.
