Snakeskin – A person who carries snakeskin attracts good fortune and prosperity in finances and business. The gemara states: “One who sees a snake in his dream is assured abundant livelihood.” How can a person induce dreaming about a snake? Kabbalah suggests a way: carrying a bit of snakeskin.
During their forty years of wandering in the wilderness, the People of Israel were commanded to look upward facing a copper image of a snake to cure them from the bite of poisonous snakes. But does a snake kill or rejuvenate? Looking upwards reminded the people to subjugate their hearts to their Father in Heaven, and through this they were saved.
The powers accessed by carrying snakeskin originate at the very beginning of creation. In the Garden of Eden, G-d cursed the snake, decreeing that it would eat dust all its life. Why is this considered a curse? After all, just as dust is universally prevalent, the snake’s food is ever-present and he is assured abundance.
It is a curse because the snake never needs to turn his face upward to G-d for his sustenance. He faces the darkness, rather than the light. To counteract this curse and activate the beneficial powers of snakeskin, the person using this talisman should recite the ancient Shema Yisrael prayer before going to sleep at night. This prayer can be found in the Jewish prayer book (siddur). The prayer will elevate the dream of the snake or snakeskin to a higher level to facilitate a stream of abundance from the crown of the Heavenly throne.
Don’t forget: All charms need to be accompanied with a simple yet heartfelt prayer to G-d, such as, “Master of the Universe, please heal me.” As Rabbi Yisrael of Salant taught, “There is nothing more complete than a broken heart”.
