![]() ![]() Early Hebrews adopted the serpent as well as the Jewish Levites who were called “sons of the Great Serpent.”Ĭombined with the circle, the unity of the ouroboros manifests as a trinity: center, radius, and circumference. Long before the worship of Yahweh, the serpent was worshiped in Palestine. The symbol of the serpent was so important that every mythology in every culture had some form of the World Serpent in it. The Hermetic World Serpent, the Gnostics symbol of eternity, a totemic form of the Great Mother, and the Greek self-devourer…just to name a few. The Ourboros: The oldest allegorical symbol, first seen in Egypt on the tomb of Tutankhamen around 1600 BC, but could very well be older than this. For fun, I decided to give my own interpretation of the image. ![]() So if anyone can tell me more about this please let me know. I was very saddened, that I couldn’t seem to find much info about the picture, other than it may have been in Vienna, maybe in a cemetery. I study ancient civilizations and symbolism a lot. I stumbled upon this image not that long ago and was immediately drawn to it. ![]()
