I have been reading up on the Ouroboros...So many meanings. (read below for the meaning)
I think the choose to make it a "fallen 8" is of interest. (Not a circle)
Supporting the theory of a jumping back into a story line already in progress (time travel). To fix a wrong?
The materials used to make the snake. Looks to be wood (but not rough) It is tribal and spiritual.
What group would be known for crafting with wood? Circle of Thorns? (Dont they have those big floating masks?)
Not that Im any closer to solving this issue...I just enjoy thinking about it
Meaning:
The snake biting its own tail, the Greeks called it the Ouroboros, which means "Tail Eater." The Ouroboros is a sign of renewal, infinity, and the Eternal Return. In mythology, the Ouroboros is any image of a snake, worm, serpent, or dragon biting its own tail. Generally taking on a circular form, the symbol is representative of many broad concepts. Time, life continuity, completion, the repetition of history, the self-sufficiency of nature and the rebirth of the earth can all be seen within the circular boundaries of the Ouroboros. It appears in many shapes and forms in many differing cultures throughout history. Different societies have shaped the Ouroboros to fit their own belief systems and purposes. The image has been seen in Japan, India, utilized in Greek alchemic texts, European woodcuts, Native American Indian tribes and even by the Aztecs. It has, at times, been directly associated to such varying symbols as the Roman god Janus, the Oriental Ying Yang, and the Biblical serpent of the garden of Eden. We have chose the fallen-eight version of the Ouroboros to provide emphasis on infinity, the never ending cycle and strategically placed it encircling the earthly symbols and inside the celestial symbols.
