Egyptian Religious/Magical Symbols and Implements
- Ankh: A cross with a loop. Also known as the key of life, key of the Nile and the crux ansata. A symbol of Egypt and its gods and a representation of their power.
- Djed: A pillar representing the spine of Osiris. In old form, a symbol of the craftsman-god Ptah. A ritualistic power-focus.
- Was: A ceremonial scepter or staff used in Egyptian religion. Made of wood and/or faience, with one hand carved into the likeness of the Typhonic Beast, the other forked. These staves represented power and authority (Was literally being Egyptian for "power" or "dominion") as well as the priest's dominion over chaos. The image of the Was is also a heiroglyph representing the idea of power.
Egyptian Deities
- Atum: One of the aspects of the creator god, the setting sun.
- Ra: AKA Re. The supreme god, the solar disk, the noonday sun. See also Khepri, Aten, and Atum.
