Updated my old snake mascot for fun. Hand-animated it, because it felt more entertaining

A bit out of left field if you don't have the context. I've used the artist name 'Snake' for most of my life at this point. It's been so long I completely forgot I had a little snake mascot for a short while. Ca. 2007-ish I think. Used to look like this:

#39: COILED SNAKE Sign: Cancer Gift: Transmutation Shadow: Provocation

Gift: Transmutation When you break out of the limiting relationship patterns and frequency coding of the shadow, you are able to shed your skin and live again. Here, your tendency to provoke does not disappear, but rather transmutes into a dynamic energy that calls forward freedom and creation both for yourself and others. You channel your immense power and use it for aligned action instead of an instrument of pain. You emerge from the cage of your conditioning and move forward into undiscovered planes of pure fulfillment and bliss. You are magnetizing.

Shadow: Provocation This shadow unleashes a vengeful provocateur, much like the venom of a snake. When misguided by low frequencies, you might feel triggered by those around you and then strike where it's sure to scar. The darker qualities of this shadow stem from a general misunderstanding in your relationships; in response to the situations and people around you, you may have a tendency to take things much too personally. When you breathe, take a moment to reflect, and refrain from destructively reacting, you can see that anything that may seem disrespectful or unacceptable is just a pattern of trauma playing out on the world stage. In short, it has little or nothing to do with you. By shifting your perspective, you break the cycle of disharmony and keep the rattlesnake out of sight and mind.
