More details: In ancient Egypt, the Ouroboros was associated with the sun god Ra, representing the cyclical nature of the sun's journey across the sky each day. In Greek mythology, it was associated with the god Apollo and symbolized the endless cycle of creation and destruction. In Chinese mythology, it represented the harmony between the yin and yang energies, signifying the balance between opposing forces in the universe.
In alchemy, the Ouroboros takes on a more philosophical and mystical meaning. It symbolizes the unity of all things, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the universe and the idea that everything is in a constant state of transformation and purification. The process of the serpent devouring its own tail represents the cyclical nature of this transformation, emphasizing that every end is also a new beginning.
The Ouroboros is also used in psychology and spiritual contexts as a symbol of self-reflection and introspection. In these contexts, the serpent eating its own tail represents the cyclical nature of personal growth, with each cycle bringing us closer to our true selves. The process of integrating the shadow self is also symbolized by the Ouroboros, representing the need to confront and transform our darkest aspects in order to achieve greater wholeness and harmony.
