The snake as friendly?

Tag_jorrit

Snake + Dog, if I were reading these two cards to describe an acquaintance would be an intelligent, perhaps aloof woman who wears glasses (Snake governs eyes) who was a trustworthy loyal friend. It's all context. If it were a Fox + Dog I would worry.

It all depends on the source of your meanings. I originally learned with the German meanings that came from Iris Treppner's course. Here is a link on this forum to those meanings. http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=81619

Traditionally the Snake is an alternate card for a woman in a reading, like the Rider/Cavalier is for a man. In the old days when readers read for same sex couples the Snake was the Woman's partner while the Rider was the Man's.
