Ankh of Maat

Ma'at was an Egyptian deity, by some accounts brought to life by Ra.


She was revered in cults all over Egypt.


She was the divine ruler who could keep the energy of the elements balanced. This synergy was equally applicable to stars as it was to any element that could fall away from a balanced and just position.


She was seeked when chaos was troubling the body and the soul.

Ma'at is the female equivalent of Thoth.

If Thoth is scientific reasoning then Ma'at is divine spiritual wisdom.





What does the Ankh of Maat represent ?



Thoth and Maat find themselves riding in the boat of Ra but this is an older myth considering the bigger picture of all things.


Maat is much older than the Ra concept where Ra is an incarnation of Atum.


Thoth is the original Ibis.



Ibis is a Greek word that can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian glyph hb or hib. The Sacred Ibis is a bird that looks a lot like a vulture and it is often associated to Thoth.

Interestingly mummified Ibises are not uncommon in the ancient Egypt akashic record.





Crystal at crystalinks supplies us with a bit of info on Thoth. This image was taken from that site and is sub headed " Thoth and Seti at Abydos".



More interesting however is the suggestion that Thoth's feminine counterpart was Seshat.

Who is Seshat ?

Again according to crystalinks Seshat is the consort Queen/wife of Thoth the Scribe. Thoth, the deity who writes the history of humanity through time.


Seshat invented writing according to myth which allowed time events to be recorded, therefore she becomes the matron of knowledge. Seshat was a female scribe and priestess and as the consort of Thoth, the goddess of scribes.

Notice in the image that Thoth is Ankh'ing Seti.

Who is Seti ?

Seti is the father of Ramesses II who is 3rd King of the 19th Dynasty and husband of Nefertari ( only one of his consort wives ). However she is such a favorite that she becomes the idol of one of the palaces at Abu Sembal.

But wait Seti might also be Set which is the dark jackal brother of Osiris.






This image is found at Abydos and shows Seti I offering a sheperds staff to lord Horus. Painted on the wall of the Temple of Seti I at Abydos.

Black Jackal Ankh

Getting Ankh'ed seems to be a ritual of choice in ancient Egypt.

This image depicts the black jackal Ankh'ing some deity figure. The black jackal is usually Set, brother of Osiris, Isis, and Nephtys. But the son of Set, Anubis is also depicted with a black animal mask.

Nephtys is a mysterious feminine figure who is considered head of the house, IMO probably associated to the bask or cat divinity. Nephtys is master of the death rituals. Anubis is also considered the patron of embalming.

This similar image is of a relief on a pillar at Karnak. It is Isis ankh'ing Nefertari, wife of Ramesses II of the Karnak palaces and tombs legends. Ramesses 2 is 3rd King of the 19th dynasty. This is 1279 to 1213 BC.

Queen Ahmose Nefertari is another egyptian lady which is present in the 18th dynasty. This is 1550 to 1525 BC. She is a Nubian Queen and the mother of Amenhotep I who becomes the second king of the 18th dynasty.

Ankh Healing

I came across this Ankh Healing and electromagnetism discussion while doing research on Apophis 2004MN4 99942 and gravitational keyholes.

It's Friday and I am hoping to dig deeper into this stuff over the next few days.

Ka En Ankh Nereru

Ka-En-Ankh-Nereru, according to a Carol Rose encyclopedia of monsters and giants, is a cosmic serpent who's body stretches through the total darkness of the night skies. This is lore found in the Book of the Coming Forth into Day.

At first it may appear that Ka En Ankh Nereru is an analog of Apep the demon serpent of the night sky but if blackdrago.com explains that idea away.

From blackdrago

• a creature of the wurm species
• Ka En Ankh Nereru is a cosmic serpent who covers the night sky. Unlike Apep this dragon or serpent does not fight the sun god Ra, but rather allows or assists Ra in rejuvenating himself so that he may make a new sun rise in the morning.

Being of the wurm species is interesting. Again from blackdrago.

• Also known as Guivre, Worm, and Wyrm. These dragons are completely limbless, leaving no legs nor wings for them. However, they are usually huge serpentile creatures with thick bodies.
• Most portrayal of these creatures hold a snake like head and body type. However many have begun portraying them with wedge shaped heads.

The wedge shaped head could likely be incorporated into the mystery of the Seth animal mask which is of a shape not well understood except that it could be some type of jungle Aardvark.

Someone with a little imagination could connect Ka En Ankh Nereru dragon or serpent to the dark rift that covers the night skies.

Otherwise someone might connect Worm Wood of the biblical prophecies to Ka En Ankh Nereru somehow.

The Serene Dragon - other serpents and dragons in Egypt

isis leads nefertari

Isis leads Nefartari by placing an Ankh to her mouth.

This symbolic ritual will have her take in the breath of the afterlife.

Nefertari was one of the wives of Ramesses II who ruled Egypt from about 1279 to 1213 BC. Ramesses the Great was 3rd King of the 19th dynasty.

Abu Simbel are two temples erected to honor Nefertari and Ramesses II, the great Egyptian ruler of the 13th century BC.

Anubis and the Ankh

Anubis and the Ankh are found in old Kingdom Egyptian writings.

Anubis to the the Greeks is Inpu. The jackal headed deity of the old kingdom (c. 3100 BC ) is associated to burial ceremonies and mummification rites. Somehow his magical essence summons some spirit of the afterlife.

The old kingdom cult to lord Anubis is moved over to Osiris in the Middle Kingdom Egypt dynasties.

Anubis symbols often depict the jackal head in the color black but by some accounts this is a reference to the black earth found in Nile Valley. It might also be a reference to the rotting dark flesh of the dead.

However arguments have it that the dark headed figure symbolizes the original Kemet Africans who inhabit the Upper Nile area.

Anubis is also often shown carrying an Ankh symbol by the eye.

The eye of what ??????

This could be answered as the Eye of Ra but that would only be speculation.

Anubis was the son of Osiris and Nephtys....read on.

Comparing the Ankh symbol to the Chi Rho

The Ankh symbol is an ancient Egyptian Symbol.

The Chi Rho symbol is more closely related to Christianity.

The Ankh and the Chi Rho have many things in common.

The Ankh has a staff which is completed by a circular eye similar to the eye in a sewing needle. This staff is broken below the eye by an horizontal line and the whole thing form a bit of a cross.

The Chi Rho is a Greek symbol made up of the Greek letter P and X where the X serves to cross the P in a similar was as does the horizontal line on the Ankh.

The Ankh is much holder than the Chi Rho.

Both symbols represent eternal energy or great energy - chi and rho.

Interestingly the word Egypt is a Greek invention which represents the land of the black.

Kemet.....
