The symbol of a broken Ouroboros is often used to symbolize [[Old Leech]] and [[Children of Old Leech|its Children]]. The Ouroboros adorns the cover of [[The Black Guide]] described in [[Mysterium Tremendum]] and [[The Men from Porlock]]. The Ouroboros is painted on multiple trees and beside windows in the village from The Men from Porlock and is described in this premonition earlier in the story: TBA (The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All, p. ) The Ouroboros is also mentioned in the story [[The Siphon]], where a ritual sacrifice is taking place on a specific geographical location that would appear to be the gap of a giant Ouroboros. The same situation appears in the [[Isaiah Coleridge Series]] novel [[Worse Angels]], where a ritual murder is said to have taken place at a deep shaft that, according to Dr. [[Howard Campbell]], is exactly placed at the gap of the Ouroboros-shaped hadron collider: "There is occult significance to the geometry of the collider and its unfinished portion where he died. [...] This is where the jaws would be if the ouroboros represented a fracture in reality. Sean’s blood poured into that symbolic maw.” (Worse Angels, chapter 37) The Ouroboros is mentioned multiple times in [[The Croning]], one of the main Old Leech stories. #Theme
