Rose Cross Order, the Rosicrucians + The Equal-Armed cross is one of the most ancient symbols known to man. Draw a circle and put a cross in it, and you have just signed the Planet Mothers signature. Indeed, the circle with the cross is the symbol used by astrologers to represent the earth in all their charts. Ancient people would stand in the sun, arms flung out to their sides, just to study the play of light and shadow this stance projected onto the ground. And so the has also been called the solar wheel. The symbolism is ancient, profound and so darn basic. The vertical bar coming down, as the Divine comes down and becomes human. The cross bar stretching to the ends of the Universe, bringing together all those pesky pairs of opposites like Female/Male, Cold/Hot, Negative/Positive, Nasty/Nice, West/East. Cleopatra by Vincent SegrellesSome say the Order of the Rose Cross stretches back through history to the Egyptian City of Alexandria (Cleopatras capital) where Alexander the Greats favorite general (Ptolemy) built the most remarkable library of all time.
