For Me, The Symbol Of The Serpent Is A Reminder To Face My Fears, But For Many, It Is A Sign Of Transition, Fertility And Feminine Power. The Anthropologist Lynn Isbell Has Argued That, As Primates, The Serpent – As A Symbol Of Death – Is Built Into Our Unconscious Minds Because Of Our Evolutionary History. Isbell Argues That For Millions Of Years Snakes Were The Only Significant Predators Of Primates And That This Explains Why The Fear Of Snakes Is One Of The Most Common Phobias Worldwide And Why The Symbol Of The Serpent Is So Prevalent In World Mythology; The Serpent Is An Innate Image Of Danger And Death. Furthermore, The Psychoanalyst Joseph Lewis Henderson And The Ethnologist Maude Oakes Have Argued That The Serpent Is A Symbol Of Initiation And Rebirth Precisely Because It Is A Symbol Of Death.
