‘This sacred symbol ‘The Sign of Tanit’ is associated with the Carthaginian goddess Tanit — a later Punic manifestation of the ancient Near Eastern goddess traditions linked to Astarte and Ishtar.

One of the most recognisable symbols of the Punic world, the sign is commonly interpreted as a stylised feminine figure with raised arms in blessing, prayer, or divine protection.

The circular form above the figure is often understood as a celestial symbol connected to the heavens, the moon, or Venus, affirming Tanit’s role as a goddess of fertility, protection, sovereignty, and cosmic power. In many sacred carvings and stelae, the symbol appears within ritual and funerary contexts, where it likely served both devotional and protective purposes.

Through its simple but powerful geometry, the Sign of Tanit became an enduring emblem of divine feminine presence — bridging the ancient goddess traditions of Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, and Carthage across centuries of cultural transformation.

Symbolism: Divine protection, fertility, sacred feminine power, cosmic connection, sovereignty, and spiritual continuity.
