Freud, in his renowned text "The Interpretation of Dreams," associates the serpent with a phallic symbol. While this observation may have been considered interesting and revolutionary at the time, its universal applicability raises several doubts. A profound connoisseur of the cultural substratum from which the symbols that populate the collective unconscious emerge, Jung expands its scope to define it as a symbol of deep vital energies capable of developing, emerging, and creatively transforming our individuality.
Whenever a serpent appears, it symbolizes a part of our instinctual psychology that is simply inaccessible, something that possesses tremendous power, something inexorable with which we cannot compromise.
The serpent as cosmic-divine energy finds an analogy in what Carl Gustav Jung identified in his analysis for psychic energy, or libido: the serpent represents the libido that turns inward. Through introversion, one is fertilized by God, inspired, re-created, and regenerated.
