SERPENT EATING ITS TAIL (OUROBOROS) - Symbolic representation of coming full circle (cycle).  The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. The name originates from within Greek language; (oura) meaning "tail" and (boros) meaning"eating", thus "he who eats the tail".   Often taken to symbolize, introspection, the eternal return or cycle, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself.   It also represents the infinite cycle of nature's endless creation and destruction, life and death.
