Snails are an amazing spirit guide. They can be used whole or ground into a power to add a protective element to any magical working, particularly if the intention is to strengthen protection around yourself or your home. Along side protective magic, snails also have the ability to help with manifesting personal growth, patience, prosperity and good luck. Tackle one thing and do it very well, then go on to the next. The Snail Spirit Animal illustrates the need for keeping one foot on the ground. Know when it's time to stay, and when you should move along or retreat for safety.
