aviculalunae: The Ouroboros, Greek for ‘tail swallower’ is depicted as a snake in circular motion swallowing it’s tail - on occasion, it can be seen in a lemniscate shape (as seen above). It originated in Egypt to symbolize the sun; in terms of Gnostic beliefs, it is a referral to the solar god Abraxas, signifying infinity and the soul of the earth.
The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent/dragon eating its own tail. The dragon is probably the oldest pictorial symbol in alchemy of which we have documentary evidence. It’s the concept of infinity — of the end being also the beginning, and the eternal nature of the Universe.

Ouroboros is a very common symbol in alchemy and magic.
