Egyptian Symbols are old, eh? Maybe even Aramaic, maybe Atlantean. although...the symbol on her book cover, looks like a piece of Prince's...I wonder if she is a Prince music listener...It would be interesting to find out.

In one sense, Prince's symbol is a composite male/female symbol...

Man/iron/Shield and spear of the Greek war god Ares:


Woman/copper/mirror of the Greek love goddess Aphrodite:


In another sense, it's simply the alchemical symbol for soapstone with a ring (which anciently represented spirit) on top. :
Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”
