Ankh Symbolism The Ankh was, for the ancient Egyptians,
the symbol (the actual Hieroglyphic sign) of life but it is an enduring
icon that remains with us even today as a Christian
cross. The Ankh is possibly one of the most widely recognized symbols
other than the cross, sacred to the ancient Egyptians, and often used
as an amulet, this symbol is basically the T or Tau cross supporting
a circular shape. Giving the appearance of the shape of a key, in Egyptian
hieroglyphics this symbol stands for life or living, and forms part
of the Egyptian words such as 'health' and 'happiness'. Linked with
Egyptian gods and goddesses, such as Isis (eternal mother and High Priestess)
and Osiris, most gods would appear to have possessed the ankh, to symbolize
life, sexual union, and immortality. It is thus often referred to as
the Key of Life, or even the cross of life, because of its creative
power. The loop of the ankh is considered to be the feminine, whilst
the T shape is considered to be the masculine staff. Together, these
symbols reflect a continued existence.
