The ouroboros, an otherworldly serpentine creature that consumes its own tail, is an alchemical, religious, and artistic symbol depicted across several ancient mythologies. Its cyclical nature suggests a transformative process of renewal in which beginnings and endings remain inextricably intertwined; one always follows the other until the end of time.

The act of returning again and again to share and devour speculative stories lies at Ouroboros Magazine’s core. The publication aims to provide an outlet for artists who push the bounds of reality and imagination—writers, illustrators, and creators who play in the realm of horror, paranormal, science fiction, fantasy, and magical realism—because sometimes it takes a moment from another world to better understand our own.
