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.
