What does Wikipedia have to say about ouroboros? The ouroboros or uroborus is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. It originates in ancient Egyptian iconography, enters western tradition via Greek magical tradition, and is adopted as a symbol in Gnosticism and Hermeticism, most notably in alchemy. Via medieval alchemical tradition, the symbol enters Renaissance magic and modern symbolism, often taken to symbolize introspection, eternal return or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself. It also represents the infinite cycle of nature's endless creation and destruction, life and death.
