Circle of serpent, endless cycle, life consuming and renewing itself.
origins
From Egyptian and Greek texts to alchemical manuscripts, the ouroboros symbolised eternity, unity, and the endless cycle of death and rebirth.
meaning
Wholeness, renewal, infinity. The ouroboros shows that endings are beginnings, and all is one.
today
It speaks of transformation, of recognising cycles in personal and collective life, and the wisdom of return.
practice
Visualise the serpent-circle. Ask: what cycle in my life is closing, and what is beginning anew?
endurance
The ouroboros endures because life is always self-renewing — consuming, transforming, and arising again.
