Or that the main feature of the ornamented Celtic Cross, the wheel cross, is not derived from the crucifixion, but from a more ancient symbolthe Chi-Rho monogram, which is the name of Christ in the Greek alphabet? In \u003ci\u003eSymbolism of the Celtic Cross\u003c\/i\u003e, Derek Bryce traces the pagan-Christian link of the essential symbolism of the axismundi 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derek Bryce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 087728850X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877288503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Weiser Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.21h x 5.38w x 0.36d","brand":"Derek Bryce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947436146943,"sku":"9780877288503","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6aa211e6-5bc1-46cf-967a-1f8c926677be.jpg?v=1681518714","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/symbolism-of-the-celtic-cross-derek-bryce-9780877288503","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
