Coming Today! My Tattoo! Yippee!
Photos of my new tattoo! Life imitates art - one of my characters has the exact same tattoo. This is an Ouroboros. It’s a snake biting it’s tail. Some version of this symbol can be found in the mythology of almost every ancient culture around the globe. It represents infinity, the circular nature of life/death/rebirth, eternity.
I designed it myself from one of the most primitive examples. I love the Cleopatra eye! Actually, it’s the Eye of Horus.
My grandmother interpreted dreams. I interpret dreams. I know that most people are afraid of snakes and that some religions consider snakes evil, i.e. Judeo-Christianity, but my grandmother taught me the deeper wisdom, that in ancient days, snakes were a sign of good fortune, a symbol of eternal life. Look at the medical world - the Caduceus and the Staff of Asclepius…snakes. Wisdom and healing. I have always been a great admirer of snakes. Here’s a link for your reading pleasure:
