ouroboros

This may contain: a painting of a red and white dog with its mouth open in front of the moon


An ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail, symbolising the eternal cycle of destruction or rebirth. Or even non-duality: Once you reach 360, you are back at 0. It’s a paradox of beginnings and endings. 


Originates from either Ancient China, Egypt or Mesopotamia. 


Ancient Egyptians used it to symbolise the flooding of the Nile. 


Norse legend depicts it as the great serpent Jörmungandr who encircles the earth and bites its own tail.


Hindu cosmology says it helps to prop up the earth. 


Alchemical books use it to represent eternity. 


Chinese culture, it comes from the yin yang symbol.
