BESTIARY: Ouroboros

Ouroboros (from the Greek Οὐροβόρος ; from the Greek οὐρά: 'tail' + βόρος 'consumption') is a concept symbolized by a serpent — or a dragon — that bites its own tail. The Ouroboros is usually represented by the circle, which seems to indicate, in addition to the eternal return, the spiral of evolution, the sacred dance of death and reconstruction.

The Ouroboros symbolizes the cycle of evolution turned towards oneself. The symbol contains the ideas of movement, continuity, self-fertilization and, consequently, eternal return.
