Description

Mysterium Coniunctionis by C.G.Jung: "In the image of the uroboros (the serpent swallowing its own tail) lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process... The uroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e., of the shadow...it is said of the uroboros that he slays himself and brings himself to life, fertilizes himself and gives birth to himself."

Very impressive! Your eye is drawn immediately to the red feathers and the glaring eye. A striking image!

Excellent flame! I like the framing, too. (UF?) Neat caption, too - always wondered what the snake eating it's tail was called.

Wow, he sure is twisting and turning to consume himself. The head is fantastic and I like brightness and sharpness of all the lines. Really fine work here.

I'm sorry, I always tell what programs I used to create an image, but this time I thought it would get in the way... The flame was created in Apo 2 Beta 15. The eye, the framing and signature, in PS7. Thank you all for the warm comments and encouragement!
