Snake Ring
Lizards aren’t all bad. They are a symbol of internal power, a power the snake of the Old Testament wanted to imbue on humans, which resulted with their expulsion from the mythical Garden of Eden. Even among cultures that see them as a bad omen, they are magical creatures. They have the ability to regenerate their tails and some even their limbs, which is why they are frequently seen as representations of eternity. The Oroboros is an ancient image from Greece. It is a snake eating its own tail, representing the relentless cycles of life and death. The Celts, a major inspiration for Da’oud’s art, believed these beautiful cold-blooded creatures to be signs of good luck and fortune. Their ability to survive, by shedding their old skin, or detaching their tails, gives inspiration to cultures the world over. A sign of strength and renewal, the lizard is truly a good talisman to have around.
