The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail, forming a circle. It originates from Egyptian iconography and was later adopted by the Greeks, Gnostics, alchemists, and many mystical traditions.
Core meanings of the Ouroboros:
- Eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth
- Unity of opposites (creation and destruction)
- Self-sufficiency and infinity
- Alchemy and transformation
- The closed system—something feeding on itself, self-renewing
It’s often used symbolically in esoteric traditions to represent the eternal return, the unity of all things, or the cycle of the universe. Some modern interpretations see it as a symbol of psychological self-reflection or spiritual recursion.
