Dente Draco Caudam Dum Mordet (Dragon Bites Its Tail), artist unknown, 1668. From The Secrets of Natural Chemistry, by Michael Maier.
The alchemists, who in their own way knew more about the nature of the individuation process than we moderns do, expressed this paradox through the symbol of the Ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail. The Ouroboros has been said to have a meaning of infinity or wholeness. In the age-old image of the Ouroboros lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process, for it was clear to the more astute alchemists that theΒ prima materiaΒ of the art was man himself. The Ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow. This βfeed-backβ process is at the same time a symbol of immortality, since it is said of the Ouroboros that he slays himself and brings himself to life, fertilizes himself and gives birth to himself. He symbolizes the One, who proceeds from the clash of opposites, and he therefore constitutes the secret of theΒ prima materiaΒ which [β¦] unquestionably stems from manβs unconscious. - Carl Jung (Collected Works, Vol. 14, paragraph 513)
