The snake is one of humankind's most powerful and ambiguous symbols; it has at various times represented immortality and death, male and female, deity and demon, circle and line, killer and healer, the highest whisdom and de deepest subconscious. By virtue of its mysterious movement, potent poison, fearful grip, inblinking gase and lightning quick strike, the power and image of the snake has wound its way into every culture.
Scarab beetles lay thier eggs in dung, which they roll into a ball and roll into a hole. The Egyptians equated this with the movement of the sun and its daily resurrection. Ancient Egyptians believed that a winged scarab flew across the sky each morning carrying the sun. The scarab was a symbol of the rising sun and a protector from evil; it was also a symbol of rebirth, regeneration, creation, transformation and was commonly worn to gain strength.
In one version of the creation myth of ancient Egypt, a lotus flower rose out of the primeval water of Nun, the infinite ocean of chaos. The petals parted to reveal a scarab beetle. The scarab then transformed itself into a boy, who wept. His tears then became humankind.
