Mythic Celts Silver Tone Ouroboros For Renewal Dragon Pendant Necklace

Mythic Celts Silver Tone Ouroboros For Renewal Dragon Pendant Necklace

The Ouroboros is a Greek word meaning “tail devourer,” and is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. It can be perceived as enveloping itself, where the past (the tail) appears to disappear but really moves into an inner domain or reality, vanishing from view but still existing.

The ouroboros has several meanings interwoven into it. Foremost is the symbolism of the serpent biting, devouring, or eating its own tail. This symbolizes the cyclic Nature of the Universe: creation out of destruction, Life out of Death.

The Ouroboros appears in many other cultures and settings as well…the Serpent Jormungand of Norse legend, one of the three children of Loki and Angrboda, grew so large that it could encircle the world and grasp its tail in its teeth. It guards the Tree of Life and is often depicted as an ouroboros.

The Aztec Serpent God Queztacoatl was depicted similarly, and Chinese alchemical dragons have both similar shapes and meaning.

In Hindu, you have the dragon circling the tortoise which supports the four elephants that carry the world.
