Black Tourmaline Ankh Pendant~JSSBTANK

Sterling Silver Black Tourmaline Ankh Pendant~JSSBTANK. The Egyptian cross, also known as Ankh, was originally an Egyptian hieroglyph used to represent the word “life”. By extension, this cross became primarily a symbol of life. This cross was also placed on the lips of dead kings, bearing in mind that according to the mentality of ancient Egypt, death did not mean the end, but was merely a transition to the afterlife, to eternal life. As is usual with many symbols of religious or spiritual origin, there is no single meaning for this symbol. Throughout history, this symbol and its variations have been used by different cultures and religions that have given it different meanings. Among the Egyptians, it was mainly a symbol of life or immortality. In this sense, it also had a certain relationship with death and the rites associated with death. The symbol of the Ankh has also been interpreted as a symbol of balance between opposing forces, for example, between masculinity and femininity. It can also represent joy, energy, and fertility. Black Tourmaline is ideal for energetic purification and protection for anyone exposed to negativity. It clears oneself and one’s surroundings of dense energies and disharmony. It can connect one to the magnetic field of the Earth, grounding out negative thoughts, anxieties, and anger. It provides an energy similar to an "energetic housecleaning", like that of smudging, that is vitally important to anyone who strives for connection to their spiritual path. One can only ascend by being grounded. It has been used by shamans worldwide to awaken from illusion. 36mm x 17mm x 4mm
