Fine Art Prints from the Ancient Earth Series of Original Pastel Paintings by Cecilia Henle
SIZE: 19.00 X 26.00“
The Lightning Snake is an Indigenous creation myth symbol. As part of the annual snake dance, participants release snakes so that they can deliver requests for rain to the underworld deities. The Cherokee also have a mixed fear and reverence for the power of the snake, which they believe is a supernatural being who has connections to the thunder gods.
In the Southwest, snakes are known for their speed. One species, the sidewinder, is easily recognized by its fast, undulating motion. This may be the reason that the Navajo associate snakes with lightning. Some traditions suggest that snakes are the physical manifestation of lightning on earth. A common Navajo snake symbol in paintings is the crooked snake that resembles a lightning bolt.
