@fructusprohibiti: Symbols of Rebirth Pt.VII: Ouroboros An ancient symbol rooted in Greek and Egyptian mysticism, depicting a serpent or dragon shallowing its own tail. Its name derives from Greek words meaning “tail-eating”. It primarily represents the eternal cycle of life, death, rebirth, and the unity of opposites (creation and destruction). ∞ The symbol first appeared in “The Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld” from Tutankhamun’s tomb, depicting the cyclical union of the gods Ra and Osiris in the underworld. ∞ The origins of the symbol can also be traced back to ancient Greece, where it was often linked to the concept of eternal return, symbolizing the infinite cycle of time and the universe. For the Greek alchemists ouroboros is a pallingenetic symbol (from the greek πάλιν-again and γένεσις-génesis, meaning “born again”) representing the alchemical process: the cyclical succession of distillations and condensations necessary to purify and bring to perfection the “raw material”. 𖢻 The snake does not just bite its tail; it swallows itself. To be spiritually reborn, you must willingly enter your own darkness and allow your old identity to be digested. ꩜ True spiritual rebirth means that every time you return to the “starting point” of a cycle, you do so at a higher level of consciousness. You pass through the same gates of death and rebirth, but each time you are wiser, turning the closed circle into an upward spiral toward divinity. In the end, ouroboros teaches us that nothing is ever truly lost. To touch the beginning, we must embrace the end. We must become the fire that consumes, the vessel that contains, and the life that breaks through the old skin. Every death is an invocation and every ending is but the shadow of a new beginning. creds: pinterest art #rebirth #ouroboros #snake #spirituality #fyp
