ORIGIN: Egypt


POWERS: Known as the "key of life" or symbol of "Eternal Life". The circle represents that which has no beginning nor end as the sun, in the spirit of Ra the Sun god. The horizontal line at the bottom of the ankh symbolizes the horizon, the point where the sun appears to touch the earth. The symbol also represents the balance between opposing forces such as masculine and feminine, heaven and earth, positive and negative. It is the tie between spirit and the body bringing balance and mind-body healing. Another theory is the union of woman/Isis and man/Osiris for the creation of life. The upper part representing the female uterus and the lower part the male sexual organs uniting both sexes for the circle of life providing fertility. The union of Isis and Osiris is also believed to flood the Nile river annually providing fertility to the land which is why the Ankh also was known as the Key to the Nile. The Ankh is often depicted as being placed on the lips of dead pharaohs granting them eternal life or immortality in the afterlife. The Key opens the doors of the tombs and the world of the dead. To give an Ankh to someone is to wish them eternal life. It was a powerful symbol of hope and regeneration in ancient Egypt, and it continues to be used as a symbol of life and vitality today. After the arrival of Christianity in Egypt, the Ankh symbol was later adopted and evolved into the cross we know today.
