Ankh XL

89.99

The Ankh reminds me that I have the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine energies within me.

The symbol is an Egyptian hieroglyph for “breath of life” and, as the Egyptians believed that one’s earthly journey was only part of eternal life, the ankh symbolizes both mortal existence and the afterlife. The symbol can be traced back several thousands of years and holds great cultural, religious, and social significance.

The earliest dated ankh symbol that archeologists have discovered is dated to 3,000 BC or 5,000 years ago, used by the First Egyptian Dynasty. In early Africa, the Ankh was applied in rituals, especially in those involving royal cults, and it had special significance when used in various temple ceremonies. Their meditation and rituals used the Ankh as a Hekau (word of power or Mantra)—chanting repeatedly (aloud or mentally) while concentrating on the meaning behind the symbolism.

As a magikal tool, the Ankh can be used for healing and to promote psychic communication with the divine. Some Egyptian art depicts a priest or priestess placing an Ankh in the middle of their forehead (over the third eye) as a means to connect to the divine God/Goddess for communication. Healers often placed the Ankh over wounds or areas that required attention, to promote regeneration and divine healing.

An ideal crystal for your altar and magickal tool kit. Size apr. 15 cm long.

 

Description

Conscious Crystal Sourcing

At House of Formlab we always try to source our crystals in an ethically minded way. We only choose high-quality pieces and work with trusted and reputable suppliers who also take ethics in the crystal supply chain very seriously.

Many of our suppliers buy directly from the mines and they undertake regular site visits during buying trips to ensure working conditions and low impact environmental protections are as claimed. None of our suppliers knowingly buy from mines with any child labour, poor or dangerous working conditions. Certain countries are known for dubious practices and we avoid sourcing from those regions.

Often crystals are not what the miners are digging for. More often than not they are byproducts found alongside more valuable elements such as are used in our mobile phones and TVs. This makes supply chains complicated but where we can we avoid minerals and crystals known to come from this type of operation.

Certificates are often hard to come by. There is still no overarching governing body that certifies crystals in the same way as diamonds are now tracked and certified – mainly due to the difference in value. The more outcry there is, the more chance is idea will gain traction. So keep asking and campaigning for ethically sourced crystals and together we can change the crystal universe.

Buying crystals is a learning process. We will make mistakes, everyone does, but rest assured we are trying our best to make the right choices and provide you with the crystal you can be proud of.

Intuitively Chosen

we use our intuition to choose a piece we feel is calling us for you – a piece that is absolutely meant to be yours. We are huge believers in the crystal chooses the owner, not the other way around.

We do our best to make sure that the listing photos and information accurately depicts what we have available so you have an idea of what is coming your way, but the rest is up to the universe.

With crystal infused love,

Madame Formtastica
