The scarab beetle is an ancient symbol of the Egyptians. This good luck beetle is said to have powers that protect the heart (life is considered to be centred in the heart)

Modelled after a variety of dung-beetle (Scarabaeus sacer), this industrious beetle places its egg in dung and rolls it into a ball to be heated by the sun, creating an association with the life giving powers of the sun and the god Ra.

In death, the scarab is said to protect the deceased's soul from being devoured by a dreadful part-lion, part-hippo, part-crocodile creature who guards the scales of justice in the afterworld. This beetle has a 4,000 plus history of bringing good luck.

The Eye of Horus is another good luck symbol for Egyptians. The eye is accompanied by a somewhat stylised snake and royal beard.

One explanation for the origin of the symbol is that Horus was the son of the ancient Egyption King Osiris. He had a fight with his brother over the succession of the throne. Horus lost an eye during the fight but the gods stepped in since he was the rightful heir. The Snake-God Uraeus accompanied him for the rest of his life, covering his wound.

Wear the eye and you will keep away the evil eye and invite good luck. Some think this eye is the source for other "eyes" common in the Middle-East and Turkey.
