# Celtic Snakes Pendant Necklace - Nathair the Snake Druids Green Stone

This **Celtic snake necklace** coils a serpent through interlocking knotwork, a figure the _**Irish call Nathair.**_ **Druidic tradition** held the snake as a creature of buried knowledge. It moved between the visible world and the underworld beneath it.

According to **Celtic folklore**, wearing this pendant echoes an old Druidic custom. They called themselves serpents to signal their standing as keepers of wisdom. The poet Taliesin wrote directly, _"I am a wiseman, I am a serpent."_ The line links snake and sage as one.

## The Serpent as Messenger

**Celtic belief** held that snakes traveled into the earth each winter and returned each spring. Their journey carried knowledge from the chthonic gods below. Their reappearance in warmer months was read as a sign of renewed contact between the living and the Otherworld.

## Shedding Skin, Shedding the Old

A snake sheds its skin many times across its life, and **Druids** took this as a picture of **transformation**. Letting go of an old self, the tradition suggested, opens the way to sudden insight. A snake emerges renewed from its former skin in much the same way.

## Pairing With Other Celtic Pieces

This pendant pairs naturally with the **Celtic Tree of Life** piece from the same pewter line. Both draw on Druidic ideas of renewal and connection between worlds. Wearing both together builds a small collection grounded in the same body of belief.

## Styling and Wearing

The pewter pendant measures a full inch and sits well on the 33 in cord. It pairs naturally with other [Celtic and Druidic](https://www.museumize.com/collections/celtic-art) pieces.

## Care Notes

Wipe clean with a dry cloth and keep away from water to protect the pewter surface.
