Book Description
A guide to the basic symbolism of the Celtic Cross, featuring rare illustrations. Did you know that the basic symbolism of the cross is that of the world axis, or the link between Heaven and Earth? Or that the main feature of the ornamented Celtic Cross, the wheel cross, is not derived from the crucifixion, but from a more ancient symbol the Chi-Rho monogram, which is the name of Christ in the Greek alphabet? In Symbolism of the Celtic Cross, Derek Bryce traces the pagan-Christian link of the essential symbolism of the axis mundi from standing stones and market crosses (at crossroads and not always “crosses” in form) to the inscribed slabs and freestanding crosses of the Celtic-Christian era. He includes rare illustrations of ornamental Celtic Crosses from such places as Brittany, Wales, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Cumbria, Ireland, and Cornwall. Bryce explores esoteric aspects of the symbolism, alchemy, and the wisdom of Hermes.

Book Description
Long before common usage of the modern cross, in fact even before the Christian era, Celts were using the world-axis to symbolize the link between heaven and earth. Bryce's fascinating history of the development of the cross is complemented by line illustrations of rare, ornamental Celtic crosses from such places as Brittany, Wales, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Cumbria, Ireland, and Cornwall.

Book Description
One of the most recognizable elements within European culture is Celtic tradition. And it's the Celtic cross that symbolizes the very essence of Celtic-ness. Celebrate in this beautifully illustrated work the spiritual nature from which this emblem sprang, from its early forerunners to the incarnation we are most familiar with, complete with precedents and origins, archaic stones, differing British and Irish styles, the untimely fall of this symbol, and its resurgent place in society today.
