Masonic & Occult Symbols Illustrate

Of course, the doubled-headed axe (or labrys) in the upright position isn’t a good

symbol, either. One witchcraft magazine states: “A Labrys is a double-headed ax that some say dates back to matriarchal times. Women involved in Dianic Witchcraft and related paths of Feminist Spirituality wear Labrys amulets for protection, strength, and empowerment. For some, the Labrys also is the emblem of the Amazon.”

In fact, the labrys is one of the symbols in witchcraft used to honor the Goddess. Another book on witchcraft states: “The labrys is symbolic of the phases of the Moon and of the Goddess. It was extensively used in Crete.”
