snake of the apple tree.

I have had visions of a snake, very beautiful white and yellow with blue eyes. It had a soft slithery voice and it was coiled in an apple tree in a garden bordered by grape vines. I felt very connected to this snake. I thought many times that it could be a guide, but I am not sure. Any thoughts?

It could be a guide. Do you feel it's presence when you're scared, upset or angry? Have you ever come across a snake like that in real life? Have you ever meditated and seen/felt it there? Usually Corn Snakes are coloured from a deep peach to white but they usually have black or pink eyes, I don't think I've ever seen one with blue eyes.

No, none of those. Well when I was talking to an "old friend" I had a vision of the snake coiling around me, serving as a shield towards the person I was talking to. So maybe its a guardian/guide.

The snake is also often a symbol of not only knowledge but also earth energy, so perhaps there is a protection around you, perhaps even being created by the inner you, just waiting to be remembered.

In the Christian myth the snake and the apple represented Satan tempting Adam and Eve to partake of the fruit of forbidden knowledge.

Anyone question what that knowledge was and why it was forbidden?

I believe the snake represents the teachers of the hidden knowledge and the snake who has now come to you is one of them

It has been my understanding that the snake of christian mythology was an angel called Satani'el. It was this beings belief that mankind should be self aware, should have freedom of choice, unlike the angels themselves. The "forbidden knowledge" was as such, said self awareness, I.e. the modesty that caused adam and eve to cover themselves with leaves. It is also possible that this was when mans "sin nature" came into being. A snake can also represent cycles, evident in the symbol of Oroboras the snake that is devouring itself.
