ABSTRACT

Snakes are objects that appear in religions, folktales, and folktales of various countries, and have had a great influence on human spirit and culture since ancient times. In this study, we focused on the shedding of skin in the ecology of snakes and dealt with related symbols. In the process of shedding its skin, the snake overcomes difficulties and pains, grows, and escapes death to gain a new life. This has the meaning of individuation through the process of psychological transformation by overcoming hardships. This shedding of skin was recognized as a symbol of wisdom, transformation, rebirth, and healing in myths, religions, and folktales, and settled in people's unconscious.
