The Gnostic Cross Rosicrucianeque Necklace was handcrafted by
Alchemy Gothic in the UK
Rosicrucianesque, polished black enamel, with radiating crystal. Three pentagrams adorn 3 arms of the cross, and a hexagram embellishes the 4th arm. The other symbol appears to be a variation of the symbol of Mercury, symbolizing intellectual pursuits and fire of the mind.
The pentacle is an ancient astro-alchemical hieroglyph that is one of the most misunderstood of universal symbols. This five-pointed star's origin reaches back 1000's of years in Mesoptomania and was a graphical measurement of the astrological conjuctions of the Sun and Venus. Imbued with esoteric qualities, the pentagram represents the morning star phase of the planet Venus.
It is also believed that the pentagram was the original device central to the Seal of Solomon. Although many interpretations exist for this mystical star, Alchemists view the five points as spirit, air, fire, water, and earth. The endless, interwoven sides of the pentagram represents continuity and eternity as it binds evil forces in order to bring harmony, peace, and luck. The pentacle often appears with the protective circle around it, although the Phosphorus Pentacle here is presented without the circle.
Alchemy Gothic items do not come with a booklet; however, I will include a printout of the information on this page if requested to do so. The interpretation/writings on this item are my own and are not the work of Alchemy Gothic.
