The ouroboros, typically depicted as a serpent or dragon eating its own tail, is an ancient symbol with deep philosophical and spiritual significance. It represents infinity, the cyclical nature of existence, and self-sustaining renewal.
Its origins can be traced back to ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Norse mythology, appearing in alchemical texts and mystical traditions. The act of consuming itself signifies the paradox of destruction and creation happening simultaneously—life and death as part of the same eternal process.
In modern interpretations, the ouroboros is often linked to concepts like:
• The unity of opposites (creation and destruction, light and dark)
• Alchemy and transformation (continuous evolution and self-discovery)
• The universe as a self-sustaining system (cosmic balance)
