Tattoo magazine feature surveying snake symbolism across several traditions. Verbatim: "The snake remains one of the most ancient and widespread mythological symbols, present in various cultures and associated with similar themes among peoples all over the world." It attributes to the venom "the power to heal, poison, alter consciousness or an actual elixir of life"; states "The way in which it sheds its skin also shows how this creature is the ultimate symbols of renewal and continual rebirth." (the plural 'symbols' is the source's own); records that "the famous serpent in the Garden of Eden tempted Eve, the first woman, with the metaphor of the apple and forbidden knowledge", making the snake "a symbol of cunning or, depending on your viewpoint, persuasion of others through lies"; records the tantric Hindu reading, "This power called Kundalini is often described as a sleeping serpent coiled upon itself, waiting to awaken with the aid of our consciousness."; and "This enormous energy possessed by the snake symbolises a hidden force, mysterious and dangerous." THIS IS THE PRIMARY EVIDENCE for the multiple can_symbolize edges on motif_snake. LIMIT: a trade magazine, not a scholarly or community source; the Hindu Kundalini material describes a LIVING religious tradition and is flagged for T11.10 rather than treated as settled.

iNKPPL Tattoo Magazine
Tattoo magazine meaning article. Verbatim: the butterfly is "a universal emblem of transformation, beauty, and spiritual awakening"; "In Ancient Greece, butterflies were associated with the soul and the afterlife"; "In Japan, the butterfly represents happiness, tenderness, and love."; "In Christian tradition, the butterfly is a symbol of resurrection and rebirth"; and "Black Butterfly – Symbolizes remembrance, mourning, and inner strength." CLAIM NOT USED: the same page asserts a single pan-'Native Americans' meaning. No edge was built on it - a trade magazine is not a competent source for a claim about hundreds of distinct living Indigenous nations, and reproducing it would be the tribal flattening at motif scale. Recorded here so the refusal is auditable.

Same sentence as the renewal edge, which names renewal and rebirth as two things; they are edged separately because a wearer may intend one and not the other.

CHRISTIAN CONTEXT. The source: "In Christian tradition, the butterfly is a symbol of resurrection and rebirth".

Same sentence, edged separately because the source coordinates two ideas rather than equating them: “The Moon symbolizes cyclicality and rebirth.”
