The Ankh is a symbol from ancient Egypt, used widely in art and on amulets. It was often depicted in the hands of the gods or pharaohs and may have been a symbol of initiation. The symbol is thought to represent life, with the feminine creative force and the masculine represented by the loop and the cross respectively. It seems to have been viewed as a key, perhaps to between the realms of the living and the dead, with many images showing a figure looking through the loop perhaps into the invisible world. It is also thought to have been used in necromancy to revive the dead. 
 
Purple amethyst is one of the best stones for protection, creating its characteristic ‘bubble of light’ shield and taking negative energies and purifying them, converting them to positive energy. Amethyst protects in a different way than other protection stones: it works by aligning you with your higher self, which in turn protects you against negative energies coming from within yourself or from others that might lead you astray from your higher path. Thus, it is an excellent ally when you are trying to improve yourself and stay away from harmful behaviours. It is also used to support those trying to combat addictive behaviour and thought patterns.
