In many Native cultures, rattlesnakes are revered and seen as highly spiritual creatures. Their ability to shed their skin is associated with fertility and new life, thought to facilitate childbirth. Given their connection to the spirit world, serpents are believed to act as guardians of places of power and portals. 
 
Bloodstone is a powerful cleansing and healing stone. Long believed to hold mystical energies, in ancient times Bloodstone was said to have been an "audible oracle" giving off sounds as a means of guidance. An excellent revitalizing and grounding stone, Bloodstone stimulates dreaming and keeps out undesirable influences. Bloodstone encourages selflessness and teaches us how to adapt in the wake of change.
