![]() ![]() It was first seen when then- Alpha Werewolf Peter Hale drew it in the fog of Scott McCall's car's window as a clue to why he was going on his killing spree-as revenge against those involved in the Hale House Fire that killed the majority of his family. In Werewolf culture in the Teen Wolf, the spiral is the symbol for revenge, and it is carved or scrawled, typically in public places, as a message to those who have wronged them that they will be seeking their vengeance. The spiral is one of the world's most ancient symbols, with spiral-like carvings found in stone works dating all the way back to roughly 12,000 years ago in cultures all over the world: this includes decorative objects in Mezine, Ukraine monuments in County Meath, Ireland petroglyphs in Guanajuato, Mexico roof tiles in ancient Chang'an, China and the Nazca Lines in the coastal desert of Peru. ![]() (" Ouroboros"), (" The Sword and the Spirit") Spiral (" Ouroboros") The symbol was then seen again in the Underground Tunnels on a wall outside of the secret entrance to the Dread Doctors' Beacon Hills operating theater, both when Scott McCall, Malia Tate, and Mason Hewitt were searching for Liam Dunbar and Hayden Romero following their capture by the Dread Doctors, as well as several weeks later, when Scott and Liam were searching for the laboratory again the first search yielded no results, but the second was successful. Upon seeing an ouroboros on the wall outside of the entrance to the Dread Doctors' Russian laboratory, the two realized they were in the right place and discussed the legends and myths surrounding them. The ouroboros was first seen by Alan Deaton and his guide, Vadim when they were exploring an old nuclear reactor site in hopes of learning more about the Dread Doctors. The symbol appears in other cultures as well as those mentioned above, such as in the Norse myth of Jormungandr, the serpent that coiled itself around the roots of Yggdrasil, the World tree, and Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec serpent god. The ouroboros also stands for the cycle of life and death. It was said to represent the "spirit" of Mercury and the theme of continuous renewal, as the snake itself is a symbol of resurrection due to its cycle of shedding its skin. The ouroboros is also a symbol that was used in alchemy. Its origins are in Egypt, where it was a symbol of the sun and its travel around the Earth, and in Gnosticism, it signifies eternity, making it an excellent symbol for the Dread Doctors' use, as their studies led them to obtain a form of immortality there is also such thing as a double ouroboros, where there are two snakes swallowing each other's tails forming the infinity symbol. The name is Greek and literally translates to "tail swallower," an apt translation given the fact that the symbol is of a snake or serpent swallowing its own tail. The ouroboros is a symbol used by the Dread Doctors, which they used to adorn the entrances to their various laboratories in Beacon Hills, California and in Russia. ![]()
