In many paths we can see how the snake is represented as a go between for the spirit world and the material world, it is a powerful symbol of pure understanding, of achieving a higher state of being. We see the snake in the Kundalini as a way to pull our raw energy to the god head in order to tap into the universal flow of understanding. We see the snake dancing with its partner in a dance that represents the double helix, so inbred is this idea of the snake as a passage to the source that it is in our very being.

Some things that will help you to understand Keether as you walk your own tree of life;

• Keether is the element of air, being so it is our highest ideals of understanding and intellect
• Keether has no metal, or animal, only the stone Diamond and the plant the almond flower
• the Aces of tarot are attributed to this vessel
• We must not seek to obtain it, only to recognize that we have been with it all along
• This energy comes from the universe to the crown of your head as a pure white light.
