Symbol of life and creativity

The Orphic Egg is an ancient Greek symbol. It is an egg with a serpent wrapped around it. This egg represents the cosmic egg from which Phanes, a deity, was birthed. Phanes was the deity of procreation and life.

Orpheus was a famous singer from Greek mythology. He sang the Cerubus to sleep so he could pass through Hades and rescue his wife.

Phanes was created from the Orphic Egg. Phanes was a hermaphrodite, male/female, deity of light and goodness. He was one of the first gods born of the watery abyss of time. He in turn created the other gods.

The egg and snake represent the cosmos circled by the creative spirit.
