    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.

    Western/general reading. The source ties this to the shedding of the skin: "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 wording, transcribed faithfully.
