The Meaning Behind Aker

Aker Advisors’ name stems from the ancient Egyptian God, Aker. Aker was depicted by two lions. Egyptologists say that the lion on the left represents yesterday and faces West. The lion on the right represents tomorrow and faces East. Between them, a sun disc appears.

“…There is this moment which cannot be located in Time…I call it the Present moment…This… symbol…is the eternal Present Moment…the Present Moment is Eternity…The Present Moment is outside of Time.”

—Schwaller de Lubicz, Symbol and the Symbolic, 1951

Aker Advisors will help you evaluate your financial past and plan for your financial future—embodying the wisdom of Aker.

Aker’s Origins

One day, I came across a beautiful, understated gold pendant, fashioned in the style of an ancient Egyptian coin. Its surface depicted a lion, some ancient text, and the kind of off-center embellishments common to ancient currency.

Because I was drawn to the pendant’s image, I looked more deeply into what it symbolized. I learned that the lion represented the ancient Egyptian god Aker. Historically, Aker was depicted by two lions, facing away from each other, with a sun disc between them. The lion on the left, facing west, represented yesterday. The lion on the right, facing east, represented tomorrow. The sun disc symbolized the present moment — our common reality.
