Ouroboros - Blog Posts
The ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon consuming its own tail, forming a circular shape. This powerful image has been present across various cultures and historical periods, representing concepts such as infinity, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of existence. In alchemy, the ouroboros symbolises the unity of all things, the fusion of opposites, and the continuous process of transformation and renewal. Beyond its cultural and mystical significance, the ouroboros has captured the human imagination with its evocative imagery, serving as an enduring reminder of the mysteries and complexities of life, death, and the universe.

The Ouroborus and the Unity of Matter in Alchemy, c. 1962 H.J. Sheppard
‘The Ouroboros often symbolize self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things such as the phoenix which operate in cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. While first emerging in Ancient Egypt, the Ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist’s opus. It is also often associated with Gnosticism, and Hermeticism. Carl Jung interpreted the Ouroboros as having an archetypal significance to the human psyche.[citation needed] The Jungian psychologist Erich Neumann writes of it as a representation of the pre-ego “dawn state”, depicting the undifferentiated infancy experience of both mankind and the individual child.’
