Ankh Pillows
Description: The ankh is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol that was most commonly used in writing and in art to represent the word for "life" and, by extension, as a symbol of life itself. Its use continued through the Coptic Egyptians who adapted it as the crux ansata, a variant form of the Christian cross.
Description: The ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol, meaning "Life." It was used in amulets and spells for protection, and people would pray that the pharaoh would enjoy "Ankh Wedja Seneb," or "Life, Prosperity, and Health." The ankh is a powerful talisman, a prayer for long life and blessings from the gods.
Description: It represents the concept of eternal life, which is the general meaning of the symbol. [1][citation needed] The Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest. The ankh appears in hand or in proximity of almost every deity in the Egyptian pantheon (including Pharaohs). Thus it is fairly and widely understood as a symbol of early religious pluralism: all sects believed in a common story of eternal life, and this is the literal meaning of the symbol. This rationale contributed to the adoption of the ankh by New Age mysticism in the 1960s, to mean essentially the same tolerance of diversity of belief and common ethics as in Ancient Egypt.

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.
