Origins
The Ouroboros is a creature with origins in mythology, legend and folklore from all around the world. In particular, it is taken by various philosophies, religions and cults (rightfully) as a symbol of eternity, infinity and immortality. In fact, it is believed by many that the universal infinity symbol ( ∞ ) first originated from the observation of a coiled Ouroboros at a side angle.
