***************
The Ouroboros is a circular symbol of a snake or dragon devouring its tail symbolizes infinity or wholeness, self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, standing for as an emblem of wholeness or infinity.
The eating of its own tail declares the statement “The end is the beginning” and reminds us of the eternal nature of energy which cannot be destroyed, only transformed.
The symbolic meaning of the Ouroboros is replete with concepts such as:
Cycles
Eternity
Rebirth
Never ending
Potential
Perpetuity
Actualization
The Ouroboros makes its appearance in several cultural myths.
Egyptian: Symbolic of the sun – it’s rising and setting signifying the cycle of the day
Gnostic: Oneness of all life, the constant process of re-recreation and the unity behind all duality
Roman: Eternity, time and associated with Janus the god of the new year
Greece: Death and rebirth as illustrated in the Orphic creation myth – another reference to the cosmic egg symbolism
African: Here it is known as the “rainbow serpent” or Aido Hwedo and is an emblem of sustaining life, protection and creation
