The Story and Legend of the Star Snake

A simple design of unique and sublime beauty. 
Uniting for the first time in one symbolic image, 
the concept of humanity’s fall to earth through 
knowledge and the spiral path back through wisdom
 to the stars (heavens) our true home among the gods.

From the first religion of humanity the 
Goddess Mother Earth the lowly snake became
its symbol, it crawled along the ground, it is one
long alimentary canal,a digestive tract. We must 
eat to live thus the fertility of life.

Sumerian -Babylonian Mythology
(The Goddess Astarte- Ashtoreth, 
Queen of the Stars) the mother of all souls 
in heaven. The Moon surrounded by her 
star-children, whom she gave their "Astral"
starry bodies.  The Goddess cultures from
Inanna, Ashteroth, Isis, Kali, Athena, Aphrodite, Artemis, 
The Blessed Virgin Mary. Which we celebrate each December 25th,      
The birth of the Christ.

Many cultures and mythologies adopted the idea 
of Death, Rebirth and the Resurrection of the Soul
for the Snake molts its skin and is reborn anew
each time. The Egyptian mysteries and 
mythologies personifies this concept

Biblical mythology the serpent (Lucifer) gave Eve permission 
to eat from the Tree of Life (Knowledge) thereby the Fall from Eden          
  (Heaven). The snake was the tempter who gave humanity 
the ability for free will to choose its own path, and thru          
great wisdom and love we must find our way.

  Back to the Kingdom of the heavens our
  true spiritual home the early Christians were called the 
  Lucifers (Giver of Light) The snake a symbol of Knowledge
  and Wisdom and the Christ said “Be wise like Serpents 
  and harmless as Doves.”

This design is based on a triangle pattern reminding us of the trinity
the pyramid and the fire symbol. It is a spiral form for life is not circular.
A circle repeats itself a spiral is a progression. As we move along the
evolutionary path back to the higher worlds spiritualizing physical matter

  The StarSnake contains an abstract pentagram (Christian symbol)
 and a hexagram (Jewish symbol- Star of David)
  It is also a 9 pointed star ( Bahai symbol of the 9 great religions of the world) 
  Numerologically the 9 is the highest, and most advanced number on the spiritual path.
  It has 10 lines a number associated with string theory, a scientific concept
  that unites all things in the universe.
 The Star itself a Heavenly body. As the Hermetic Law states
 "As Above So Below" the Union of the Heavens and Earth as all encompassing
 Star and Snake a new and modern interpretation of the cosmic ideal
 Using ancient symbolism as a metaphor to remind us of the quest to the higher self. 

A perfect symbol for anyone on a spiritual path that will inspire the bearer
to have great luck, beauty, hope and most importantly love to their lives.
