GREEK ARIADNE
"The High Fruitful One," brings Rebirth

This lunar fertility goddess was known for her athletic prowess. Serpents, symbols of rebirth, were ritually handled by her priestesses, whose bare-breasted costumes suggest the sacred role of sexuality in the Minoan culture.

Serpent Goddess promotes trance and dream time. The energy exuded by the snakes of this Cretan maiden exemplify sexuality, regeneration, and the mysterious otherworld of spirit journeying. Note her staring gaze and enigmatic inward smile, and if you choose, invite these "otherworldly" characteristics into your own meditations.

THE DELICATE SERPENT GODDESS (of Knossos) was discovered in the underground repository of the Second Palace of Knossos (1600 BCE] and was worshiped in Crete as early as 6000 BCE. She depicts the benevolence and sacred power of the Life Force, holding high the two serpents of immortality. The tiny panther or lion cub on her headdress may connect the goddess to the fertility rites of the wine god Dionysos or denote an altered state of consciousness.

Celtic Snake Goddesses

Irish Snake Goddess Corchen from Manx is an ancient snake Goddess about which little is known. Some contend that she was probably once a regional earth mother Goddess, or one of rebirth and regeneration. Others believe her lost legends made her a creation Goddess.

Tenau of the Golden Breast: was a Celtic Goddess so called because a snake clung to her breast so tenaciously, it had to be cut off and replaced with a nipple of gold.

Celtic Snake images definitely make their way into jewelry designs. Here's a link to one of the pendants of the Celtic Snake Goddess.
