Pen/Pencil Christian: Learning; the Evangelists; emblem of SS Augustine, Bernard and Thomas Aquinas. Egyptian: The pen with the staff depicts the awakening of the soul. Islamic: The reed pen, or calamus, symbolizes the universal intellect, the Essence, which writes destiny on the tablet of the prima materia; the unmanifest, on which the pen creates forms and destinies. The pen and book together are the active and creative act with the static creative substance and being. The pen is the first thing created of Light; it is also phallic.
