Gnostic Ankh with Pentacle Amulet -
Spiritual Wisdom through the knowledge of power Necklace
The original meaning of the ankh remains a mystery...while there are varying explanations as to how the ankh came about and it's original meaning, it now symbolizes immortality, eternal life, or life after death. It also is considered a fertility symbol, the joining of the masculine and feminine principle. The ankh is a powerful symbol that is often used in ritual magic for protection.
The pentacle is an ancient astro-alchemical hieroglyph that is one of the most misunderstood of universal symbols. This five-pointed star's origin reaches back 1000's of years in Mesoptomania and was a graphical measurement of the astrological conjuctions of the Sun and Venus. Imbued with esoteric qualities, the pentagram represents the morning star phase of the planet Venus.
It is also believed that the pentagram was the original device central to the Seal of Solomon. Although many interpretations exist for this mystical star, Alchemists view the five points as spirit, air, fire, water, and earth. The endless, interwoven sides of the pentagram represents continuity and eternity as it binds evil forces in order to bring harmony, peace, and luck. The pentacle often appears with the protective circle around it, although the Pentacle here is presented without the circle.
Alchemy Gothic items do not come with a booklet; however, I will include a printout of the information on this page if requested to do so. The interpretation/writings on this item are my own and are not the work of Alchemy Gothic.
