Carrying the staff of Asclepius, what can it do for me?
Quite a lot of things actually.
Already, this allows you to show a certain respect towards healthcare personnel in general (doctors, nurses, etc.).
To understand what else this Greek lucky charm can bring you, you need to look a little deeper into what it represents...
Concretely, this brooch of the staff of Asclepius shows us a snake wrapped around a staff. The Greek god with whom he is associated, Asclepius, was renowned for his medical prowess and unrivaled healing power.
According to the mythology that has come down to us, he acquired his medical knowledge by analyzing snakes which, through the process of molting, showed an ability to periodically shed their skin to ultimately become healthier and brighter than before.
This allowed him to embrace the notions of rebirth, revitalization and even immortality. .. Rather interesting for a god of medicine, isn't it?
Additionally, the snake itself is associated with its venom. Toxic products par excellence, you should know that certain types of venom, if used judiciously, can serve as medicine and even an antidote. The ancient Greeks were also well aware of these medicinal properties.
Therefore, the snake was used as a good luck charm symbolizing the dual nature of a doctor's work. Indeed, it implies life, but also death. In his career he will be confronted with health and, inevitably, illness.
Let us also point out that the staff of Asclepius was widely represented in certain temples of the Hellenic era which served as a center of care for the people.
For many, these were just decorations. Few actually know that the power of these symbols was real and that they participated in their own way in the healing process.
It is for all these reasons that the staff of Asclepius was adopted by doctors around the world as the symbol of their profession.
These are also all the reasons why you should be interested in this lucky brooch.
