Gothic Ankh Pins and Buttons
Description: This ancient Egyptian hieroglyph means life or living. Over time the ankh has come to symbolize eternal life and immortality to people from many walks of life. In ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, the gods are always seen carrying an ankh, making it a symbol of divinity. This symbol is also chosen by some who wish to show that they have spiritual beliefs rather than beliefs belonging to one specific religion. The Ankh is also known as the Egyptian Cross, or by its Latin name, crux ansata, which translates to 'cross with a handle.'

Description: In ancient Egypt, ankhs were a kind of key that when completed with a person’s wadjet in the center (like a personalized pin number) opened up the gateways to dimensional portholes in the pyramids and elsewhere. That’s why you see so many Egyptian “immortals” carrying them around. So what if they decorated their walls with common-place objects like we do (keys, crosses, spoons, etc.) made of different materials? That’s what this series of ankhs is all about! ;)

Description: Anubis is the Greek name of a god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion, usually depicted as a dog or a man with a canine (jackal) head. Depicted as a protector of graves as early as the First Dynasty (c. 3100 – c. 2890 BC), Anubis was also an embalmer. By the Middle Kingdom (c. 2055 – 1650 BC) he was replaced by Osiris in his role as lord of the underworld. One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife. He attended the weighing scale during the “Weighing of the Heart,” in which it was determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the realm of the dead.
Description: I can never get enough of Sphynx cat designs, this time I added some more eyes, a black Sphynx to contrast the white one. I also added a black and a white crescent moon and some geometrical shapes. One cat has an Ankh on her forehead and the other one a Leviathan cross. Ankh, the Crux Ansata, is a symbol of life and immortality. Leviathan cross was a symbol for sulfur and it was later adopted by Anton LaVey and became a satanist symbol. I do not know why I added the extra eyes on the kitties, but it looks kinda appropriate.
Description: …or vampyr, vampir, vamp… This bat is undead, he lives forever under the moonlight. My inspiration is as always the dark side, moon, the mystical, magical and occult. I have added ankh into this design to symbolise the eternal life of a vampire, also the moon changes and a coffin. It looks pretty cool and goth, I hope you like it!
