Believe it or not, this actually is very relevant…
The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle. It most generally symbolizes ideas of cyclicality, unity, or infinity and often represents self-reflexivity especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return. It can also represent the idea of primordial unity. Echoing symbols such as the Yin Yang, which illustrates the dual nature of all things, but more importantly, that these opposites are not in conflict. In alchemy, the ouroboros symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist’s opus, which unites the opposites: the conscious and unconscious mind.
