Ankh - The Key of Life
In the ancient Egyptian high culture, the Ankh is known as the symbol of life, but as a universal symbol it is connected with other cultures as well. Its symbolism is complex. It unifies male and female and therefore its energy is androgyny. The cross represents the lingam and the loop for the yoni.
The soul is androgyny and immortal, too. In old Egyptian depictions, one can often see the Gods and Goddesses with an Ankh in his or her hand. This means that the deity has eternal life, infinite wisdom, and the power to forward this.
