Joseph CampbellPerhaps some of us have to go through dark and devious ways before we can find the river of peace or the highroad to the soul's destination.

Joseph CampbellSometimes the serpent is represented as a circle eating its own tail. Thatโs an image of life. Life sheds one generation after another, to be born again. The serpent represents immortal energy and consciousness engaged in the field of time, constantly throwing off death and being born again. There is something tremendously terrifying about life when you look at it that way. And so the serpent carries in itself the sense of both the fascination and the terror of life.
