The Oroboros - an ancient Greek symbol of a snake (or dragon) eating its tail - is meant to symbolise eternity and a continuous cycle. The head of the snake devours the tail, resulting in the creature being an endless circle. The symbol may also refer to renewal or endless life; the beginning of an Oroboros eats the ending and thus becomes the beginning again.
The Oroboros generally does not refer to self-destruction or has negative connotations.
