What is the Ouroboros?
The ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own
tail. The ouroboros entered Western tradition via ancient Egyptian iconography and
the Greek magical tradition. It was adopted as a symbol
in Gnosticism and Hermeticism and most notably in alchemy.
The ouroboros is often interpreted as a symbol for eternal cyclic renewal or a cycle o
life, death, and rebirth; the snake’s skin-sloughing symbolizes the transmigration of
souls. The snake biting its own tail is a fertility symbol in some religions: the tail is
a phallic symbol and the mouth is a yonic or womb-like symbol. Also known as
another symbol for wholeness or infinity.
