A combination of Serpent Power and the Egyptian sign of Life.

I have created several versions of the ankh:
the classic version with stream lines and easily recognizable shape;
the more literal version
emphasizes the male and female aspects coming together;
however I wanted to create a piece that was more versatile.

Dragon Ankh Amulet

Dragon Ankh Amulet

The Dragon Ankh represents the tenacity of life,
the spark where in the union of opposites:
something new is created.
The Ankh is formed by the symbol of Kundalini: the Dragon.
Positioning the Dragon’s head so it curves around to create the Yoni,
the chin rests at the point where the wings spread.
The tail drops below completing the design.

This Amulet is tiny: only ¾” but it is potent with meaning and potential.
This would be a good amulet for those that are studying Yoga,
Kundalini, Martial Arts or an Egyptian enthusiast.
This amulet is to help focus and balance body,
mind and spirit.

Merlin’s Classic Ankh

The Classic Ankh

In the words of Thomas Inman, published in 1869:

“It is by Egyptologists called the symbol of life.
It is also called the “handled cross”,
or crux ansata.
It represents the male triad and the female unit,
under a decent form.
There are few symbols more commonly met
with in Egyptian art.
In some remarkable sculptures,
where the sun’s rays are represented as terminate as hands,
the offerings which these bring are many a crux ansata,
emblematic of the truth that a fruitful union
is a gift from the deity.”

I have re-created the classic shape of the Ankh for my line of jewelry.
A classic rendering of an ancient Egyptian symbol
of the tenacity of life.
Very strong and solid.
Texture is smooth yet holds the feeling of a relic.

Merlin’s Custom Yin-Yang Amulet

Posted in: Amulets, Ankh Jewelry, Multi Faith, Ouroboros. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , . Leave a comment

In my line of jewelry, I have a Yin-Yang Amulet.
Wrapped around the edge is the Ouroboros and for the “two spots”
signifying the Light in Darkness and Darkness in Light I placed pentacles.
This amulet has been a part of my line for many years,
quite popular when I was traveling from one festival to another.
The combination of these three ideas in one piece provided an amulet
quite broad in meaning and focused for a particular kind of person.

Recently I received a request to modify the amulet.

Although she loved the idea of the combination she wrote:

“I am more drawn to the Ankh than I am to the Pentacle,

is it possible to replace the Pentacles with Ankhs?”

As I specialize in custom,
I was glad to do it!
And so, the most recent version of this complex amulet has the Ankh replacing the Pentacles: a Custom Yin Yang Amulet.

If you like what you see in my Jewelry Line,
but want a modification,
Write me and let me know what changes you wish and I will be happy to do so.
Modifications are only a small fee,
but with alterations the piece becomes a one-of-a-kind!

Custom Yin Yang

You may remember the Dragon Ankh Amulet:
a combination of Serpent Power and the Egyptian sign of Life.
The Ankh focuses on the tenacity of life,
the spark where in union something new is created;
and the Dragon of Kundalini.
Positioning the Dragon’s neck so it curves around to create the Yoni,
the Dragon’s head rests at the point where all things intersect suggesting a conscious decision in transformation.
The tail drops below completing the design.

The Ankh of Peace

The Ankh of Peace

The Ankh of Peace

As I was growing up, my brother created paintings incorporating symbols he found interesting. One of my favorite was a combination of the peace sign, the Maltese cross and the ankh. He worked in vivid black light poster paint (it was the sixties, after all…) and it hung on our wall for years. I recall looking at it as I drifted off to sleep. In spite of the brilliant colors, I found the image soothing and offered a sense of comfort.

Years later I created an amulet that represented the image and dubbed it the Craig, naming it after him. Recently I came across the old charm and decided to add a small change: the lower emanation extends lower than the classic Maltese cross, symbolizing an emanation of blessings to both the person who wears the amulet and to all one surrounds oneself with.

The Ankh of Peace, for me a logo of the sixties; but for the world it is a new image: a culmination of many lands, many cultures all focused on life, vitality, stability and peace.
