Books with Spirit – Joyfulness between horses and people

This episode happened some months ago, but today I was given the photo you will see in this article, so I decided to write a post about the insights about horses, that I gained from my deliberate encounter with a snake.

I used to be snake phobic – so bad that I couldn’t watch them on TV without having nightmares.  I had gotten rid of the outright phobia with my healing work, but was still pretty afraid of them when someone suggested that “knowledge is power, perhaps I ought to find out more about snakes.” 

Coincidentally, (yeah right!)  a couple of days later I saw an advertisement in the local paper that a snake expert was giving a talk locally.  So I went along and met Syd Cook, the local and mad as a meat axe, snake catcher.  (”Mad as a meat axe” is an Aussie expression to decribe someone who is completely nuts!  Just kidding Syd!)  

Syd generously allowed me to make an appointment to come and see his reptile collection and work on my fear of snakes the same way as I work on horses’ fears.  My offer to make him some homeopathic anti-venine for his poisonous snakes amy have piqued his interest!
