Oh thou snake, hast crossed thy minds eye as a sacrifice
A spiritual one, in the other realm it be done
it is no will of the snakes
It's life is not at stake
It is up to the conduit who lays on the table
I am the conduit - the sacrifice so I call it
This is thy label
I am worthy, I am able
I undergo this transformation
I desire wisdom
I long to awaken
I focus on the snake
And take on it's vibration
As I sit still
This is thy will
So it be done
Physical sacrifice - there will be none.

- Comment from author about the poem: This is about sacrifice and awakening. Throughout the aeons, human and animal sacrifice has happened in exchange for something or to please the Gods. The conduit is the sacrifice - what worth is it to kill a snake, rather than to awaken it within? I wouldn't glorify a kundalini awakening as something that is glamorous, new age teachings and the Internet make it appear so... But transformation comes at a price - if you're willing to let go of all that you thought you were and everything you know to be true.

Someone said New Age teachings are Old Age teachings by now! Doh! I don't follow them - too spooky and strange.
Yeah just old teachings mixed together. My issue with new age teachings is that there is too much bypassing within the community... Basically - "don't think negative and negative things won't happen" which is so damaging. To heal something within it has to be acknowledged, and if it weren't for "negative vibes" the moon wouldn't be able to influence the tide 🙂
Oh lol. Do you know that line from a 'Carry On' film, one of the 'Doctor' films, about a famous 'thinker' saying not to think negatively?!
But to me, New Age thinks are spooky and can be dangerous, I think.
I haven't but I'll have to fish it out and have a look for myself, yeah it can be dangerous for a naive mind, and someone that lacks discernment. I personally don't follow new age teachings, I just don't like the spiritual bypassing and denial of negativity in general 🤷♀️
It seems the christian churches are demanding of one sacrifice. That you sacrifice your intelligent questioning mind and accept the stories and wisdom of the world when the churches insisted the world was flat and the sun revolved around the earth.
Fortunately such sacrifices can be reversed if the childhood infection of FEAR of god can be overcome.
Absolutely. Growing up and going to a religious school myself, although I didn't care much for Catholicism or Christianity in general... I can say that it took some time unweaving the Christian fear programming. It is perfectly healthy to question things.
Your experimenting with the complex imagery of the snake, sacrifice, transformation, and knowledge is thought-provoking. You bring to mind a multitude of themes, from the serpent in the garden, Aesop's fable of the serpent, to Indian snake charmers and modern snake healers. The final line is like the victory of reason and liberation from the shackles of dead traditions: "Physical sacrifice - there will be none."
Snake imagery has been popping up in my awareness a lot recently, I felt inspired to write something snake themed 🙂
