In this post we’ll take a look at the Caduceus staff. We’ll explore where it came from, what it means for you as a Wiccan (or Pagan) and how to use it in your daily life.

Apollo and Hermes
Hermes was a greek god (also known as Mercury for the romans).
The legend goes that he stole Apollo’s cattle when he was a small child. However, charming as he (Hermes) was, he eventually made peace with Apollo and exchanged his lyre with Apollo’s staff.
Hermes and his staff is a symbol of good luck, trade, luck in gambling and a messenger of the gods.
Symbolism Of The Staff
The Caduceus staff holds a lot more symbolism to is than you first see. When you take a closer look, you can see that this is a very powerful symbol.
- The staff is all about the connection between humans and gods.
- The staff itself represents the earth element and our living body (think of the staff as your spine). The staff is also a masculine symbol.
- The two snakes defies gravity and makes their way up the staff, symbolizes power and the struggle to reach a higher spiritual level.
- The wings symbolize the air element, our spiritual self and the connection with our gods.
- Finally, the round ball on top is a representation of how your physical self connects with your spiritual self. The circle is a feminine symbol and also represents your pineal gland and your higher self.
In a way, the Caduceus Staff represents the essence of your spirits connection with your physical body.
