FREE: Wiccan Ankh Necklace

The listing, Wiccan Ankh Necklace has ended.

This is a really pretty necklace. At first I wasn't so sure about gold and the turquoise color together, but now I'm really surprised how well they look....
The silver beading wire is .45, which is heavy duty beading wire.. The beads are also glass, and the length of the necklace is over 20 inches long...
What does the Ankh symbolize?
The Ankh Cross represents life (immortality) and death, male and female, balance. It can also represent zest, joy of life, and energy. It's closely related to the looped cross that can mean fertility and life.


When the Roman Emperor Constantine claimed to have had a vision of death outside the walls of Jerusalem he made the symbol of punishment and death (the cross) synonymous with Christianity; Constantine's cross was from a sword and a spear, a sign that a soldier could make, and non-Christians learned to hate and fear the brutality that was associated with this symbol for over a thousand years. As a result, the Ankh Cross, like the swastica usurped by the Nazis, has become associated also with Christianity.
