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 symbolic interpretation 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. It can be used for channeling Sekhem (life force) energy, connecting with the higher self, balance, protection, healing, activating the chakras or manifestation.

Egypt has been known for its rich deposits of high-quality alabaster for thousands of years especially around Luxor. Ancient Egyptians used alabaster extensively for temples, sculptures, canopic jars in burial ceremonies as well as for perfume vessels.

Its translucent appearance and soft glow give it a symbolic representation of spiritual illumination and purity of spirit, encouraging feelings of peace and calmness. Alabaster is believed to enhance one's spiritual connection, intuition and facilitate communication with higher realms and spirit guides, promoting a deeper understanding of one's spiritual path. Its ability to bring mental clarity makes it a great stone to keep on your alter and stimulate meditation.

Alabaster is a "drawing" stone meaning it can draw things to you or to draw things away from you, depending on what your need. It can draw forgiveness, whether it be self forgiveness or the ability to forgive someone. It also helps to draw anger out of a person and release it. Alabaster helps fight against stress, reduce fear, heal arguments, resolve disturbances and problems by providing inner harmony and peace. Since alabaster is so soft, it does best with a sun cleansing.
