Dear Friend,

To be in tune with 2025, the Year of the Wood Snake, it's essential to have a snake displayed in your home.

There's only one problem: snakes are scary!

It's crucial to be thoughtful about how you choose your snake.

The Snake Animal sign represents parts of human life and society that you need to accept exist, instead of denying them.

But snakes are still scary, so what can you do?

By all means, don't get a three-dimensional realistic-looking snake for your place. It's going to keep you in a state of high stress (and your cat might not appreciate it either!)

Instead, get a snake that appears friendly, toylike, or whimsical.

I designed the snake in the image above, inspired by ancient Chinese paper cutting art. I made it look friendly and not scary.

The background and the symbol on the upper left corner contain the vibrational healing and clearing art of healer Bill Austin to help you harmonize with the energies of both the year of the snake and the wood element, since this is the Year of the Wood Snake.

You can get this image as an 8x8 "wall tile," which is a high quality paper print mounted on a foam background. You can place it directly on a wall or on the fridge, or you can frame it. Get it here.
