Year of the Snake
The snake of the lunar calendar is wise and mysterious, demonstrating its most potent gift - transformation - in the ability to shed a version of itself behind when it becomes constrictive, pest-riddled, or injured.
2025 is the year of the Wood Snake, last seen 60 years ago, which adds a dimension of adaptability and warmth.
Rarer still, a clever, playful offshoot of the Wood Snake: The Flower Snake.
