Two Ouroboros Snakes Infinity Wiccan Bronze Pendant Necklace

This bronze ouroboros necklace shows two heavily scaled serpents woven into an open, lace-like figure-eight. As an infinity snake pendant, the coiled bodies wind through a round bronze frame with delicate cutouts throughout. The name comes from Greek words meaning "tail devourer," a nod to the endless loop of the design Gnostic writers of late antiquity used this ouroboros pendant motif to depict the material world as a closed loop. Spiritual and physical forms constantly change, but the loop never truly ends. Later esoteric jewelry often paired the ouroboros with a pentacle for the four elements and spirit.

There, it wrapped around the sun disc as a guardian of cyclical time. Gnostic and alchemical writers later adopted this snake motif. They connected the serpent to Abraxas, a composite deity. His name totals 365 in Greek numerology, one day for each turn of the year. Symbolism of the Self-Devouring Serpent Alchemists read this ouroboros pendant as a unity between opposites. The head stood for spirit, the tail for matter, joined in one endless cycle of destruction and rebirth. The open cutouts in this design let light pass through the endless cycle it depicts. Styling Your Ouroboros Necklace This ouroboros necklace layers nicely with other symbolic jewelry. Mixing symbol systems on the same cord was common in later esoteric jewelry. Wearers drew freely from several traditions at once. This wiccan snake necklace pairs well with a pentacle charm or a moon pendant for a fuller look. Care Notes Store this ouroboros necklace away from moisture. Polish it occasionally with a soft cloth to keep the gold-tone finish bright.
