Why snake vertebrae? Not only are they cool, they hold spiritual beliefs from all over the world. In Hinduism the serpent represents Kundalini Energy, coiled at the base of the spine waiting to be awakened to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Across many cultures the snake symbolism encompasses both dark and light aspects, reflecting themes of rebirth, transformation, healing, and protection.
