The Ankh, or Cross of Life, is actually an Egyptian icon rather than a Wicca symbol. In hieroglyphics, the Ankh means life.. An Ankh is the union of the symbols for the Goddess and the God â the female oval and the male cross or staff. This symbolises the infinite creative Power of the universe.
In modern Paganism and Wicca, many traditions use symbols as part of ritual, or in magic. Some symbols are used to represent elements, others to represent ideas. These are a few of the more commonly used symbols in Wicca and Paganism today. Air is one of the four classical elements, and is often invoked in Wiccan ritual. Air is the element of the East, connected to the soul and the breath of life. Air is associated with the colors yellow and white.
