Ankh Squared Brass Earrings

The following is a list of healing properties for the mind, body, and soul that the materials of this piece contain.

ANKH

The symbol is an Egyptian hieroglyph for "life" or "breath of life" (`nh = ankh) and, as the Egyptians believed that one's earthly journey was only part of an eternal life, the ankh symbolizes both mortal existence and the afterlife. One theory of its origins claim that it originated from the belt buckle of the goddess Isis. It’s been equated the ankh with the tjet, the "knot of Isis", a ceremonial girdle thought to represent female genitalia and symbolizing fertility. This theory, of the ankh's origin stemming from a fertility symbol, is in keeping with its meaning throughout ancient Egyptian history and beyond to the present day.The ankh represents the male and female genitalia, the sun coming over the horizon, and the union of heaven and earth. This association with the sun means that the ankh is traditionally drawn in gold - the color of the sun - and never in silver, which relates to the moon. Putting aside the complexities of these separate elements, though, what does the ankh look like? Its resemblance to a key gives a clue to another meaning of this magical symbol. The Egyptians believed that the afterlife was as meaningful as the present one and the ankh provided the key to the gates of death and what lay beyond. The Egyptians believed that the afterlife was a mirror image of life on earth and mirrors were thought to contain magical properties. During the Festival of the Lanterns for the goddess Neith (another deity seen with the ankh) all of Egypt would burn oil lamps through the night to reflect the stars of the sky and create a mirror image of the heavens on earth. This was done to help part the veil between the living and the dead so one could speak to those friends and loved ones who had passed on to paradise in the Field of Reeds. Mirrors were often used for divination purposes from the Middle Kingdom onwards.

BRASS                                                 Taurus, Libra
Flattens and grounds energy and can be used as a shield, reducing sensitivity and awareness. Brass is not generally used for healing; it is used for its ability to dull or block energy. It is a common alloy made by combining Copper and Zinc therefore containing the properties of both base metals. It’s recommended by healers as helpful to people who have unusually high levels of metal in their bloodstream, since it is a blood cleanser and detoxifier. Brass is also used for hair loss. It does however, attract health and wealth to its wearer.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRE WRAPPED JEWELRY:

To polish the metal of your jewelry simply and easily, Cut and squeeze the juice of one large lemon into a bowl.  Add approximately ½ to 1 tsp of sea salt into the lemon juice and stir.  Submerge your piece in the juice/sea salt mixture and stir with your fingers for about 5 – 10 seconds then remove, rinse in cool tap or distilled water and dry thoroughly with a towel. You can also use a rouge cloth or non-abrasive cloth to polish further until its original sheen returns or to just buff your piece to a nice shine if you are wanting to re-shine it after briefly wearing.

CLEARING & ATUNING YOUR STONES:

The simplest way to clear, reset, and activate the various properties of the stones in this piece is to allow it to set in direct sunlight/moonlight for 24 hours or more.  Full Moon or New Moon phases are best for this as these are the main transitional moon phases with the most energetic influence within us to set and fulfill personal goals and intentions and to be more intuitively in-tuned with the subconscious aspects of our goals, desires, intentions, and the means to manifest them.
