Zoun, the Snake Totem
Artwork Description:
Zoun, the Snake Totem, carries the sacred nature of snake energies and medicine in Dagara life.
In this painting Zoun, the Snake Totem, is peering into a star held in its hand. In Dagara cosmology, each person is born with their soul purpose, represented by a star in the cosmos and carried by their name. This “star” of their life is protected by the sacred Zoun Snake Totem.
Dagara traditions have seen serpents as representing fertility or a creative life force. As snakes shed their skin through sloughing, they are symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing. Snakes have been used for worship, magic potions, and medicine and are known as symbols of love, health, disease, medicine, immortality, wisdom, and even death.
Snakes also symbolize the end of a particular phase life and herald in a new vision and awakening within one’s self. Snake energy can help us to understand transitionary periods in life with new spiritual awakenings knocking on the door, beckoning us to allow them to enter. Snake symbolism is a messenger, heralding transformation now in progress.
Medicine Art Perspective:
When a person is deeply struggling or challenged by unknown forces blocking their progress, often a Dagara Diviner may prescribe a ritual to help them “clean their star” and reactivate their true deeper purpose in life. This painting suggests that the Zoun knows the wisdom of our souls’ journey and purpose on this Earth and can be a powerful ally in our healing processes.
Incorporating the Zoun Medicine Art piece into your home’s sacred spaces will provide a deep and grounding reminder of your soul’s original purpose in this lifetime. It is a prayer for the remembrance that each of us was called forth into this life with a unique journey that is ours alone to unfold.
