As kaitiaki, as protectors these Snakes serve as messengers carrying important Native medicine within their bodies symbolising their protective and healing intent. They remind us to be respectful at all times, to speak and behave in a good way towards others. Emulate by example the way in which we wish others to treat us, for if we don’t there is always a reaction, outcome or consequence that may or may not be favourable.
It is also why Snake Medicine is often positioned near doorways and entrances or is central to a space or room. Snake Medicine is commanding by nature and sometimes unpredictable showing us that we should never be cocky or arrogant, but instead be aware, alert and ready to respond.
While Snake medicine is not Native to Aotearoa, they are a generous gift of understanding Noël has shared with Māori and cultures of Aotearoa.
