Susan Rambles: A Conversation with Snake
Jiffy-Pop Comes to the Rescue
Ramble -
I’ve had a life long relationship with Snake, but I didn’t really realize it as a relationship until I was in my late 50s. My first recollection of an interaction with a snake was when I was about ten years old. Our family had gone backpacking for a week in the wilderness in California. No, I don’t remember where exactly but in the 1960s there was more of that kind of land nearer to our home in Sunnyvale. My parents were brave. I was the oldest of four and I can’t even imagine the logistics of taking on that kind of endeavor with a pack of very young kids. But my dad was an outdoors man and so hauling us all off to the back country was second nature to him.
One day on this camping adventure, my dad and brother (about nine years old) and I went for a hike. At one point we were going up a slight incline along a creek. There was a large tree which my dad and brother walked around going to the left. For whatever reason, I attempted to get around the tree by circling to the right. As I did, there was a slight movement on the ground which caught my eye. I was walking on small pebbles speckled with colors from white to brown to black. How I saw it, was an absolute miracle. Matching the colors exactly, a snake was coiled in the middle of my path. What caught my attention had been its tongue darting in and out of its mouth. I had almost stepped on a rattlesnake. But instead, I froze solid and called out to dad. He had me back down very, very slowly until I was well out of reach where my brother and I huddled together as my dad uncoiled the snake with a long stick and killed it. He later told us they are more dangerous when coiled because they are in a better position to strike. I was so close it could have easily bitten me. We brought the headless body back to camp where mom was properly freaked out.
Oh, but the story doesn’t end there. You see, we ate it for dinner. Mom flat out refused to let dad use her frying pan. She also flat out refused to take any part in the cooking of, or the eating of the snake. Dad had to use an old Jiffy-Pop “frying pan” from the popcorn we had had the night before. Remember those? And by the way, as I recall, snake does taste like chicken. Sort of. Because it had been my discovery, dad gave me the snakeskin and rattle which we attached around my hat when we got home. I wore it for years.
Nowadays, I would call that whole episode very Shamanic. My relationship with Snake deepened in recent years as we started to talk. He comes to me in spirit form now and then when I need him. His magic is one of transition; shedding the old while the new comes onboard. He is also very grounded as his entire body touches Mother Earth. We chatted this morning, Snake and I. He wants me to tell you that he will come to work with you as well. All you have to do is ask.
