Ouroboros
The&nbsp;Ouroboros&nbsp;or&nbsp;Uroborus&nbsp;is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail.
The Ouroboros often represents&nbsp;self-reflexivity&nbsp;or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the&nbsp;eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end (compare with&nbsp;phoenix). 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. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in&nbsp;alchemical&nbsp;illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist&rsquo;s&nbsp;opus.
