what is the meaning of the scarab
Being an avid history buff, I have often seen the image of the scarab in my plunge into Egyptian lore. Unbeknown to me, scarabs are a very powerful symbol for a multitude of positive superstitions. Now Iâm no expert, but my research has found a few beneficial reasons as to why Egyptians use them in their murals and jewelry. First and foremost scarabs are a potent symbol for good luck. Another more explanatory reason is the actual physical characteristics of the beetle. The spherical proportions of the beetleâs wings, and their glittering reflection lends to the perception of the scarab as a symbol of the rising sun. Accordingly, this very powerful connection also insinuates the scarab to be a protector of evil, symbol of rebirth, regeneration, and transformation.
