The Egyptians of long ago have known that a symbol possessed a life force. They used symbolism a great deal. Even their writing system, which is composed of the hieroglyphs, was all of symbols. These were used with great respect and care.
In ancient Egypt, the people
feared symbols so much that they disfigured some of these for burial
ceremonies. These included images representing man and fearsome
creatures such as scorpions and snakes. The Egyptians believed that
doing so protected the dead from harm.
Of the most ancient cultures, the Egyptians were the greatest
believers in the power of symbols to protect, do harm and change man's
destiny. For them, symbols possessed both soul and energy that can be
used for evil or good.
