CROMLECH Whether part of a circle or monolithic stones or
standing alone, the cromlech stands for fertility, health,
and spiritual enlightenment. A cromlech is an

CROSS Now a Christian symbol, the cross is actually a very
ancient symbol, meaning much the same as the column.
However, the crosspiece of the emblem signifies the
balance of the four elements. The cross was associated
with the Phoenician goddess Astarte, the Greek deities
Artemis and Aphrodite, and the Aztec goddess of rain.


CROWN In cultures as far apart as India and northern
Europe, the crown symbolized the sacred marriage
between the Goddess and Her consort. This emblems
signifies light, achievement, success, and spiritual
enlightenment.


CUBE The three-dimensional equivalent of the square, this
symbol represents the material world of the four
elements. It is also associated with stability. A box with
