As
the yearly floods brought life to Egypt, so did the holy symbol of the
ankh.
Because of it's prosperity of giving eternal life, the ankh was originally
worn
by the pharoh God-Kings of Egypt. It is said that the ankh is the symbol
of the union of
Isis and Osiris; the cross of Osiris merging with the fertile oval of
Isis.
May the ankh awaken the bearer with the awareness of
eternity that it brought to the ancients!

Artist Chris Bennett describes his Gothic style as "descending
from a style originating in
15th century Germany called 'Middle Gothic.' The Gothic movement was
a response to the repression
of Christianity and the movement had to develop underground: a pagan
revival of sorts.
Many members of this 'Middle Gothic' movement were, then as now, Artists,
Poets, Musicians and
Thinkers who questioned the paradigm that created their society. They
used Paganism as
"a 'Sword of Illumination' to light the path through a world that
is dark, asleep, and blind."
Mr. Bennett's designs are meant to be a Symbol to todays Goths for Self
Empowerment and Solidarity.
The Ankh, with its looped top, is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyph representing
the Womb,
and, translated, means Life. It is a symbol found widely in Egyptian
art, where gods
and goddesses are shown clutching the Ankh, the Key to the Afterlife
and Immortality.
This symbol was also known as the "Key of the Nile:" which
provided the desert with
Life Giving water further reinforcing the image of Fertility and Reproduction.
It symbolizes the ability for life to evolve and be successful and reminds
us that life
on Earth is simply one aspect of Creation, and that we are all Eternal
Beings.

Rams
Head
Many
Egyptian Gods and Goddess were represented with human torsos and animal
heads.
The animal head often symbolized the characteristics of the particular
god.
“Ra” had the head of a hawk, ensuring the gift of swift flight;
Thoth was Ibis-headed;
Anubis was jackal-headed; and Harsaphes was ram-headed and linked with
fertility and virility.
Our “Ram’s Head” pendant is a beautiful reproduction
of an historic museum piece
originally found in a Nubian King’s tomb!
