The serpent is associated with earthly life and the circle, with the Divine Kingdom.
 Being present in different cultures and having different interpretations, the basis of the meaning of Ouroboros is the idea of eternal and continuous creation . Over time, the Ouroboros symbol has been assimilated by diverse cultures, religions and mystical doctrines, such as:
 Ancient Egypt:
 A very old record of Ouroboros can be found in a funerary text from Ancient Egypt, at the tomb of Emperor Tutankhamun. For the Egyptians, this symbol represented the union of Ra, god of the sun, and Osiris, god of life, death and resurrection, thus meaning the cycles of Life.
 Ancient China:
 The Chinese symbol of Ying and Yang, indicating the union of polarities and the transcendence of duality, has its analogy and representation in Ouroboros.
 Buddhism:
 The encounter with our BEING marks the state of absence, the beginning and the end, meaning that has its representation in Ouroboros.
 Alchemy:
 Alchemy sought to find the “elixir of life and immortality” used the symbolism of Ouroboros.
 For alchemists, Ouroboros is related to the internal and personal work of each being, involving their psyche, energy and internal strength.
 Gnosticism:
 The snake in Ouroboros devouring its own tail, in Gnosticism, symbolizes the elevation of the soul , as well as the eternity and immortality of the Spirit.
 Masonry:
 For Freemasons, Ouroboros represents eternity , renewal , love and wisdom and is found decorating the facades of some temples, such as the square and the compass.
 For several mystics, Ouroboros, closing in on the cycle itself, takes us to the representation of the wheel of existence and the process of continuous creation .
 In some aspects of Tibetan Buddhism, Ouroboros evokes the meditative state, when the mental state is transcended, amplifying the perception of oneself and the ALL, the micro being absorbed by the macro.
 In any case, Ouroboros is a symbol that talks to our intuitive side and, in this communication, the perception of the unconscious side arises, reflected in the repetitions of actions that lead to suffering and that, to get out of this vicious circle, it is necessary to look inside, have self-perception and self-knowledge, that is, bite one's tail, as in the representation of Ouroboros.
 Ouroboros allegorizes the resolution of the internal conflict reached by the conquest of the interior fullness and the perception of the Unity, transcending the separation from the Whole, due to the egoic projection; the dissolution of the finite ego in favor of the manifestation of the Infinite BEING.
