Adder-Nathair: Transformation, Healing, Life Energy
Nathair offers healing and transformation. Its ability to glide into the darkness through crevices in the rocks connects it to the Under or Otherworld, and the realm of Death.
It is the totem animal of the Earth Goddess, and also the Sky Father Sun God, and represents our ability to die and be reborn. The energy that enables us to be born on earth is sexual energy, but this also necessitates our death.
Befriending adder or snake power will enable you to journey through life gracefully and magically, shedding your old life easily when the time comes – whether that old life be of the physical body or of a stage in this present incarnation.
Drawn Reversed, this card urges you to abandon the ability to wound and to replace it with the power to heal.
Although the snake is poisonous, and has been used in the Christian tradition as a symbol of evil, in the Druid and other traditions it represents healing and the power of transformation.
The snake as a totem Animal urges us to use our powers of energy, penetration, swift and silent movement, not to harm others, but, on the contrary to help and heal them.
We can learn how to love and channel the serpent currents which flow through our body and the body of the Earth so that they become beneficent, healing, life-giving currents that ultimately flow-like meandering snake-rivers of the plains- to the Wide Sea
I am a Serpent, I am Love; I have been an Adder of the Mountain;
I have been a Serpent in the River
