I don't really wear or carry anything symbolic. I have a couple pendants that hand from my rearview mirror that is somewhat symbolic but only to me. Each pendant is a symbolic representation of a Dungeons and Dragons adventure I've either run or played. I have one with a spider on it, a pig, and ankh, so we're going to talk about the last one.
Historically, an ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol representing life and eternity. It's commonly depicted in the hands of the Egyptian Gods in tombs, symbolically giving eternal afterlife to the buried person.
It became a popular symbol in the 1960's for New Age religions like Wicca, generally with the same meaning of Life as in ancient Egypt.
