This hand-wrapped copper pendant honors Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife, embalming, and protection of souls. Depicted with the head of a jackal, Anubis was believed to guide spirits safely through the underworld and stand as judge in the weighing of the heart ceremony, where one’s truth was measured against the feather of Ma’at. To wear his likeness is to carry the guidance, protection, and guardianship of one of Egypt’s oldest deities.
The centerpiece is Silver Sheen Obsidian, a volcanic stone of deep reflection and shielding. Its shimmering silver layers represent light piercing through shadow, helping one confront hidden truths while forming a protective barrier against negativity. In Egyptian alignment, it resonates with Anubis’ role of truth-keeper and protector of souls.
Encircling him are stones that strengthen his energy:
• Blood Drop Iolite 💜 — the “Viking’s Compass,” guiding with vision, intuition, and balance. Its deep indigo with red undertones reflect both intuition and sacrifice — mirroring Anubis’ duty to guide the soul safely across thresholds.
• Black Agate âš« — a stone of grounding and protection. Black agate stabilizes emotions, shields from negative energy, and anchors the wearer in strength and security.
✨ The Combined Current:
When united, these stones form a powerful trinity aligned with Anubis himself:
• Obsidian reveals hidden truths while shielding from harm.
• Blood Drop Iolite lights the inner path and strengthens spiritual vision.
• Black Agate grounds and guards the soul with unwavering stability.
Together they create a field of protection, clarity, and guidance, embodying Anubis’ eternal role as guardian of the thresholds. Wearing Nekhara means moving through life with your shadows illuminated, your path made clear, and your spirit protected.
