The cross has carried a spectrum of meanings in human cultures from ancient Egypt onward. Perhaps the most popular use of the cross relates to the Christian mythos. Many people wear cross charms to show their devotion to Christian beliefs. The Golden Dawn teaches that the cross represents the dispersion of the four elements, as evidenced by cycles of life and death in the material world. In Egyptian mythology, the cross appears among the gods as a sign of everlasting life. This cross charm consists of living vines as reminders of the cross’s deeper meanings.
