Snake symbolism meaning:

…here are a few snakes or serpents that have emerged, through history or myth, to play important roles in the cultures they represent.

•Snake in the Garden of Eden: Debate has long raged over whether the serpent in Genesis was a literal reptile, an allegory for sexual desire or temptation or even Satan himself.

•Snakes that St. Patrick drove out of Ireland: As the story goes, St. Patrick, a fifth-century Christian missionary, was fasting for 40 days atop a hill when he was attacked by snakes. He waved his staff, driving all Ireland’s snakes into the sea. Snakes were a symbol of paganism, and Patrick was given credit for driving the pagans out and bringing Christianity to the Emerald Isle.

•Jormungand, the Viking sea serpent: In Norse mythology, Jormungand, one of three children of the shape-shifting god Loki, was thrown into the sea by Odin. Jormungand, the serpent, grew and wreaked havoc across the land. Thor slew the serpent with his mighty hammer, Mjolnir, but fell dead poisoned by the serpent’s deadly venom.

•Medusa and the Gorgons: were snake-women whose gazes would turn people to stone; they had serpents for hair, long claws, sharp teeth and scales covering their bodies. After cutting off Medusa’s fearsome head Perseus mounted it on his shield, and used it to paralyze his enemies in battle. According to some myths, Medusa, the most famous of the Gorgons, was originally a beautiful woman. 

•Quetzalcoatl: Among the most prominent deities in Mesoamerican cultures, Quetzalcoatl, or “Feathered Serpent,” was a mix of bird and rattlesnake. The Aztec god of wind and rain, as well as learning, agriculture and science, Quetzalcoatl was said to have played a key role in the world’s creation.

•Naga: In the eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, a mythological semi-divine race known as the naga (Sanskrit for “serpent”) took half-human, half-cobra form—although they could shift shapes to fully take on one or the other. The Hindhu god Brahma was said to have banished the naga to their underground kingdom when they became too populous on Earth. 

In Buddhism, naga were often depicted as protectors the Buddha, and the dharma (Buddhist teachings), but they were also seen as powerful, and potentially dangerous when angered. In the Buddhist scriptures, one particularly famous one was Mucalinda, a naga king who spread his great cobra hood to shelter the Buddha from a storm that arrived while the prophet was deep in meditation.

•Hopi Snake Dance: For thousands of years, members of the Hopi Native American tribe of northern Arizona have performed the ritual known as the Snake Dance. During the multi-day ritual, which is aimed at encouraging rainfall and fertility for the land, male dancers from the Snake Clan put live snakes—ranging from small garter snakes to rattlesnakes—in their mouths and around their necks.

•The Legend of the White Snake: This ancient Chinese myth tells the story of a powerful female white snake demon who lives underwater but takes human form as Madame White, or Bai Suzhen. After Bai falls in love with and marries a mortal man, Xu Xian, a Buddhist monk, Fahai, reveals her true identity to her husband. Fahai later kidnaps Xu, and traps Bai under his lakeside pagoda—but not before she gives birth to her son with Xu, who will eventually free his mother. There are various versions of the Legend of the White Snake, which has evolved over the centuries from a horror story, in which Fahai heroically battles the evil snake demon, to a romance, focusing on the thwarted but genuine love between Xu and Bai.

Properties of the Baroque Pearl:

Baroque pearls were highly prized by Renaissance jewelers, who saw them not as misshapen products of sea mollusks but rather as unique and exquisitenatural forms. They were often used in pieces of jewelry to form the bodies of figures. A superb example is a piece from the 16th century known as the Canning Jewel (Victoria and Albert Museum, London)
