Repost @joobinbekhrad・・・In case you missed it … Read ‘The Ancient Symbol That Spanned Millennia’, a piece for the BBC in which I look at the mysterious ‘ouroboros’ symbol in various cultures and religions, as well as in the context of contemporary art (http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20171204-the-ancient-symbol-that-spanned-millennia)..‘… The ouroboros … is a symbol that has been the subject of awe and wonder for millennia. Literally meaning “tail-devourer” in Greek, it has appeared in numerous forms in a wide array of contexts and geographies. In its original and most common variation, it depicts a snake eating its own tail in a closed circle. The ouroboros, however, isn’t Greek, and certainly isn’t a celebration of self-cannibalism. What, then, are its origins, and what does it signify?’.#ouroboros #egyptian #greek #alchemy #art -- source link
