luz's snake palisman

snakes were mentioned at least 3 times in the first ep of season 3. luz's palisman is almost certainly a snake!

snakes can represent:

change (shedding one's skin)

sin (christian creation myth)

belos' puritanical beliefs would identify many things luz embodies (freedom, magic, otherness, queerness, her heritage) as sin

ouroboros

associated with alchemy symbol of "eternal cyclic renewal or a cycle of life, death, and rebirth; the snake’s skin-sloughing symbolizes the transmigration of souls."

hermes' caduceus ☤

"It is said the wand would wake the sleeping and send the awake to sleep. If applied to the dying, their death was gentle; if applied to the dead, they returned to life." (doesn't this feel wonderfully luz? and her mother is a vet) additionally, commerce and negotiation (VERY eda traits) it ALSO represents printing, writing and eloquence (luz has a way with words AND the glyphs. she always draws them incredibly precisely)

rod of asclepius

again associated with healing and perhaps the originator of the association, which was later confused with the caduceus people would sacrifice what they could to cure themselves at this god's temples the greek word for medicine and poison were the same

apollo

he gave both of the two above staffs to their respective owners a god of the sun, aka light-bringer, aka luz's name and her first glyph!

the luz bone

the entire wikipedia article on the luz bone is fucking me up. it is associated with resurrection in many religions, and some schools of thoughts identify it as the vertebra shaped like the head of a snake (and in general her name being a body part feels fitting for a show that mainly takes place on the bones of a titan's corpse)

all references from their respective wikipedia pages

Luz’s Palisman - Snake Theory

I know everyone and their mother at this point has made a theory on why Luz’s palisman is going to be a snake, so this isn’t really a theory per se more so a compilation of every single instance in which Luz is associated with snakes or references a snake that I decided to do.

In the very first episode, we see Luz narrating her Azura book report of fighting the Gildersnake.

And our first introduction to Luz herself:

We learn that Luz has an affinity for snakes, and that she was in the principal’s office for that reason of bringing live snakes to school and that she has a way with them that Camila later on points out that snakes are (sadly) her only friends.

Camila: How many friends do you have? Real ones. Not imagined. Or drawn. Or reptilian.

Immediately after in Witches Before Wizards, there’s a joke about snake oil.

Next we interestingly enough don’t get anymore snake references until episode 13, The First Day, where during Luz’s first day of school she has to fight a serpentine-like creature a basilisk, hinting at a future character later on.

It’s another long while until another snake reference which is in Keeping-Up-A-Fearances. It’s more of a throwaway line that was meant as a joke but when Gwen and Luz try to cure Eda, Luz mentions “flying snakes.” *fingers crossed for a winged snake*

The next instance of Luz mentioning snakes was another throwaway line meant as a joke in Eclipse Lake where Luz is sick with Common Mold and hallucinates her arms as snakes.

Immediately after is Yesterday’s Lie, where we’re introduced to another basilik Vee, who from that point on eventually becomes Luz’s snake sister.

Next up comes Reaching Out where when Luz finally comes clean to Amity about what’s been bothering all day, Amity scrolls through a few photo’s on Luz’s phone and we one of her wearing a snake shirt.

Finally we get to Thanks to Them, the season 3 premiere having snake references all over the place. First off being Luz’s tshirt that she wears to school being a caduceus, or accurately what Luz is wearing specifically, the Rod of Asclepius, or whatever you want to call it. more hope for a winged snake

The Rod of Asclepius today is known as the symbol of medicine, which is fitting as Camila is a veterinarian. In addition to Luz wearing a Rod of Asclepius shirt, the rest of the Hexsquad were all wearing outfits at one point that were associated with their palismans.

I know Gus’ isn’t an exact 1:1 match but it still works

Next being Camila’s nightmare of memories, one of them being Luz playing in the park and digging up a dead snake’s skin.

After the nightmare we see that Camila kept the snake skin and framed it. Interestingly enough about the frame where we see the framed snake skin Luz places her palisman egg right next to it and she says:

Luz: Give the palisman a kiss too.

As she says that and places her palisman down we can hear a musical chime, which feels signicficant. Like that sound bite wouldn’t be there unless there was a reason.

Also, as a lot of people have already pointed out, the egg form looks a lot like a coiled snake. Later we cut to a scene of Luz in Camila’s office at the vet looking over a book of what animals come from eggs (egg encyclopedia?) and the picture of the left is pretty on the nose.

The last scene we get in Thanks to Them is of a sticker on Luz’s laptop of a snake in an ouroboros, funnily enough, next to a sticker of Azura’s staff and of a sticker of what looks like Owlbert in his dormant form.

One other instance of a snake reference is one that people have been theorizing for a long time since the beginning is the The Owl House logo itself, and how the “O” over the “H” kind of looks like it’s making a staff with an owl palisman and the “l” at the end over the “s” looks like an upside down staff with a snake palisman.

And finally, Dana’s old twitter bio before The Owl House had been announced:

[hope-i-dont-choke]

Since we still don’t know what Luz palisman is gonna be I think we should remember 

Gus palisman is a chameleon, and he is a master illusionist prodigy

Willows palisman is a bee, and bees help the environment so much and she is a plant witch that could hand terra snapdragon her own ass

Amity’s palisman is a cat, a lot like her personality, hard to get close to but once you do so affectionate and loving

Hunters palisman is a bird, birds are a clawthorne thing, not only that but he’s been caged his whole life and is finally starting to fly

Now Luz could have a bird too

Or a cat too

But she has always had trouble being judged before gotten to know, she is as loyal and protective as anyone could be, and in the first 5 minutes of the first episode we saw Luzura fighting a giant snake, Luz playing with snakes, and her mom mentioning that her only friends are reptilian 

Snakes are known for being loyal and protective by nature and always misjudged at first

Luz egg is gonna hatch and she is gonna have a snake

Bruh I'm trying to find an owl house post someone made with art ab what Luz's palisman could be and I can't find it????? It had a piece comparing the different palismans to the shape of Azura's staff, there was (I believe in this order) a blue jay, a bat, a snake, and an otter, istg the post was trending for a while did the artist take it down?????

[cupcakeshakesnake]

If not me, someone else would have done it
