The Ankh - the divine Key of Life - heralds the eternal soul’s rebirth through you now, weaving the sacred into the physical and opening gateways to your renewal. At this threshold of awakening, you are invited to remember: the same life force that pulsed through ancient temples flows through your body today. The Ankh speaks of eternity woven into the now - of energies you are embodying in this very instant. It is the symbol of your continuous becoming, of the cycles within you ready to complete, renew, and rise.
🐉 Dracination: As you connect to the vibrations of the Ankh, envision two Dragons rising at your sides - one holding the Ankh’s loop above you, radiating infinite spirit, the other anchoring its stem beneath you, grounding your path. Together, the Ankh and Dragons seal your rebirth, weaving heaven and Earth through your body.
Whisper or breathe these words into your field:“I accept the Key of Life. I welcome the rebirth of my eternal soul.I walk renewed, aligned, and whole.Dragons guard my becoming; Dragons ignite my rise.”
Step forward into the energies now available to you, knowing divine support, interconnectedness, flows through your own body, mind, and soul, birthing the new life you are ready to embody.

The Ankh originates from ancient Egypt and predates the cross, a powerful protective talisman of divine power, immortality, and the union of masculine and feminine energies. Sacred symbolism that can aid our growth at this time of transformation on Mother Earth, where the energetic veils are thin, enhancing our connections to the cosmos. The Ankh is a bridge, for energy to flow between us and the higher planes, a mastery emblem of creation, fertility, spiritual transformation, and our soul's quest, strengthening our connection to the physical and spiritual realms.
The top loop is a gateway to the afterlife, a representative of external life, and likened to a mother's womb. The feminine qualities are held within the top loop and the stem, whilst the vertical bar is our masculine attributes. It is our key to unlock spiritual knowledge and concealed mysteries, hence why it was replaced by the cross, to dampen down spirituality and keep hidden your innate powers and healing abilities.
The Ankh embodies our vitality and the symphony of all life-sustaining forces in the universe, weaving them together through every breath, every pulse, and every heartbeat.
An instrument for our spiritual growth and embodiment of true enlightenment, providing (& reminding us to be in) balance and harmony. An iconic hieroglyph character that reads 'eternal life' and has deep spiritual significance that transcends time and culture.
We are all capable of healing ourselves, and helping others do the same, and this is an energetic amulet that is a great addition to your rejuvenation tool kit.
The rich symbolism of the Ankh and its regenerative, authoritative energies, serve as a symbol of the continuous cycle of existence. We are currently in the physical form and do not 'die', we transition to another form of life, which is exciting when you learn to accept this. It is connected to supreme spiritual forces and has the ability to influence the flow of life energy within, and outside of you.
Goddess Isis is closely associated with the Ankh, as they align with the same qualities of protection, immortality and life-giving. She brought her husband Osiris back to life, for him to then go on to become the King of Egypt and together they created their son Horus.
I attune to the sacred energies of Isis daily through my quantum practice, and each night I draw a card from her Oracle Deck to receive confirmation of my soul’s path.

A Ritual from Isis Oracle by Alana Fairchild
What you need: A paper and, if to hand, some coloured pens or pencils – use what is available to you.
Allow yourself to choose whatever colours feel right & draw an Ankh – large enough to fill an A4 page. Either plain or patterned, let our creative juices flow – leaving enough space to write within the loop at the top of the Ankh.
Once happy with the design – Write whatever dreams or awareness you have of the life that is seeking to be born through you – either in words or pictures – using the openness inside of the looped hook as your sacred frame. Ideas can be added to the central image – detailed or simple – let it flow from a sense of love.
The empty space within the loop is a psychic container – the womb of Isis – co-creating with you the unfoldment of your highest destiny. What is in your heart is the seed of your highest destiny. The form of how it appears may change – whatever it is that you love, loves you and is seeking to come into life through your experiences in some way. This Ritual deepens the conscious connection between the forces that are seeking to be born through you and your own consciousness.
Placing these forces within the womb of Isis brings psychic stability and spiritual protection to those creations which will help them be birthed with greater ease – in fullest form and with the most joy possible. Feel free to add uplifting pictures or drawings outside the inner circle – know that these will be energised by the Ankh – knowing the strongest creation is from within the loop.
When you are finished with your task – place your picture: in your journal or leave it in a sacred space where you can gaze at it after meditation or when called to focus on your goals. Enjoy the divine support for the life being born through you now.

I energetically charged my Ankh, to be my protector, and carry it with me wherever I go. It always improves my capacity to ground and re-balance when out and about in less pure energies, in trust that it wards off dense energies. We can sometimes let non positive forces into our energy fields, when we are less than centred, are troubled by an overwhelming issue, or not managing our vibration frequency of authenticity. This is when nothing outside of us will assist, we must cleanse, clear and reset our own energy fields.
September is the month to embody your innate skills, your power and your purpose – rising above the matrix, the density, and all we previously believed to be true. Elevate yourself to Quantum Energy Mastery with my remote/online sessions ~ Quantum Healing, an Innerdance Session, Merkis Merkaba Quantum Activation Course, Dragon Code Activations or be super sure to balance and clear your energies constantly yourself, managing your thoughts and perceptions.
Lightbody embodiment, Kundalini harmonisation, density clearing, and Dragon Code integration woven into each session naturally, as upgrade too. September is still Pay What Works for You - in October, pricing shifts to match the next level of power and transformation available to you.
You can keep up to date with my daily energy news on YouTube Channel, Instagram & TikTok. Do get in touch if you are unsure which of my services can aid your journey through the transformative energies this month.
The world is shifting. You do not need to take on the collective pain or trauma - simply sending healing, compassion, and love helps greatly. Focus on learning your own lessons, upgrading your energy, and anchoring powerful light frequencies. By doing so, you naturally raise the health, wellbeing, and awakening of others just through your presence.
Big Love, Namaste
