The Ouroboros is an ancient archetypal symbol that is present in many different cultures.
The rejoining serpent illustrates conflict and resolution in a single
image that embodies the entire life cycle. It represents the journey of mankind
as a series of inter-connected relationships. We are born from nature and so we
mirror it. We create history and we repeat it. We live, die and live again as
a race, within societies and as individuals. Below you will find a collection of images and web-links which further explain the long, and varied use of this symbol throught the world. The Ouroboros has meant many things, to many different people. Some of these viewpoints are reflected in our central mission of exploring the beginnings, endings, and all that falls in between on the journey of humanity. |
