In ancient symbolism the Key is one of the most powerful images of opening, of knowledge and of passage into new possibilities. Its function of opening what is closed in the physical world took on a deeper meaning in symbolic thought over the centuries, becoming associated with the discovery of what is hidden, with access to wisdom and with passing through the new thresholds of life.

In mystical and esoteric traditions the key is interpreted not merely as an object that opens a door, but as a symbol recalling the existence of a possibility not yet visible. Because of the idea of being able to reach the unknown behind a door, it is associated with intuition, inner discovery and awareness, and at the same time with new beginnings, opportunities and transformation. The meaning the key carries also holds within it the thought that every door can be opened in its own time and with the right intention.

For this reason the Key symbol is believed to carry the energy of opening, renewal and new possibilities into the space it occupies, and to recall a person’s intention regarding the directions in which they wish to move forward in their life. It also represents the values that must be protected, personal boundaries and the inner wisdom that can be reached only with the right key.

The Key is an ancient symbol that, beyond opening what is closed, stands for possibilities not yet discovered, for new beginnings and for the unseen doors within a person.
