And of course in Ancient Egypt we have the Ka, Ba & Ankh.
- The Ka; Something we all Possess as Our Spiritual Double & Life Force. Having a Royal Ka was the Birthright to Rule.
- The Ba; Another aspect we all Possess. Depicted as a human headed member of the Avion Fam. The Ba uses its wings to leave the Body after death.
- The Ankh; a symbol we are all familiar with & has survived centuries without any plans of giving in to the drowning sands of time. The Ankh symbolizes Re/Ra. Pure Light, “the transfigured spirit of a person that becomes one with light after death“.
- Mut; the Ankhs Natural Opposite, Death.
