Regular price
£250.00
A beautiful standing Hermetic ROSE CROSS -- Carved in solid oak hardwood with matching oak base. Perfect as a central altar piece or as a decorative piece. 0.75 kg in weight, 35cm tall including base, 23cm wide and cross is 16mm thick. The base is 12.5cm x 9.5cm.
A carving in solid oak, rendering this central symbol of Rosicrucian influenced Western esotericism and an important symbol of the Great Work, especially through the lens of the Golden Dawn. The oak is finished with several coats of rich, deep wax which really brings the wood to life and enhances the contrast of the carved areas and then carefully polished.
Depicted here, "The Golden Dawn Rose Cross contains attributes for the Elements, Planets, Zodiac, Hebrew alphabet, alchemical principles, the hexagram and pentagram, the Sephiroth of the Tree Of Life, and the formula of INRI." The Rose-Cross is a synthesis of "a vast concourse of ideas, representing in a single emblem the Great Work itself—the harmonious reconciliation in one symbol of diverse and apparently contradictory concepts, the reconciliation of divinity and manhood. It is a glyph, in one sense, of the higher Genius to whose knowledge and conversation the student is eternally aspiring. In the Rituals it is described as the Key of Sigils and Rituals." - Israel Regardie, The Golden Dawn.
