To understand what the Ankh represents, we must first take a look at how Ancient Kemet viewed the world and spirituality.

Universal Laws

One of the main laws that govern our world is the law of polarity. The Law of plurality states that for something to exist, its opposite has to exist. In other words, everything has two poles.

The source responsible for creation is not exempt from the Laws and two opposite energies are working together to create everything we see- The sacred Masculine and Divine Feminine or Yin and Yang energy.
