I don’t even want to get into the “make right wherever we have wronged”… Yikes!.Past situations come up to be healed… OMG that sounds “interesting” and “uncomfortable”! Frightening even… makes me want to retreat into my shell for sure!.My yearly review at work is coming up next week. Well, we know I’m not psychic! But the bit about using all senses equally is true.Self esteem issues and confusion… that sounds familiar!.“When snail appears in your life ask yourself if you are taking a harder path than is necessary.” Me? Take something simple and make it complicated and difficult? LOL!!.If you could only see my house… a “slime trail” if I ever saw one.When I was in Texas, I told my sister that I believed myself to be moving into a period of isolation.Snail asks us to “make right whatever we have wronged.” In this way spiritual growth is attained. Past situations come to the surface to be healed or balanced in some way. When snail enters your life your reputation is under review. The trail we leave behind holds the history of who and what we are. It asks us to be mobile and fluidic as we move through life, always aware of how our actions or lack of them affect others. It holds the teachings of patience, perseverance and respect. The snail understands the value of slow movement and teaches us how to use that movement to our advantage. Those with this totem often find they seldom have one intuitive gift more pronounced than another as all psychic abilities are utilized in any given situation. Most active at night or on cloudy days the snail uses all of its senses equally and simultaneously. Fortunately as the person gets older their male and female characteristics align and begin to work together in a complimentary way. This conflict triggers issues of self esteem and confusion. Because of this duality those with this totem have a tendency towards identity conflicts in their younger years. Snail medicine people have clear perceptions and need to learn to honor those abilities in all situations.īoth male and female the snail can produce sperm and eggs at the same time. Because snail retreats into its shell during adverse weather conditions those with this medicine have the ability to build walls around themselves and withdraw until a situation improves. When snail appears in your life ask yourself if you are taking a harder path than is necessary. They remind us to take the easiest path to reach our destination. The snail creates a slime trail to travel on so it is easier to move over different surfaces and textures. Knowing when to retreat and when to act is an important teaching for those with this totem. This can be beneficial as long as the individual does not become too much of a recluse and inhibit their communication and interaction with others. Those with this medicine know how to retreat when danger is present as well as seal themselves off from others. It also retreats into itself and seals the entrance in dry weather to protect its body from drying up. When disturbed or alarmed the snail withdraws or pulls itself back into its shell. Their soft bodies are protected by hard shells which they use as a defense. Snails are found in gardens, ponds and even the sea. So, I thought it might be beneficial and interesting to find out what that might mean if it was indeed an “omen” or a “message” of some sort. Three days in a row snails have unexpectedly shown up for me. Here’s that post from all those years ago: And then later I was working on Feathers and Bones, and followed a link in a post about “leaving a trail” which brought me back to snails again… so I must be working on some Snail Medicine. This morning I found three little snail shells.
