Solar crosses
The spiritual meaning of a solar cross can vary depending on the belief system or culture in which it is interpreted.
In many ancient cultures, the solar cross with a circle represented the union of opposites, such as heaven and earth, or masculine and feminine energies. It could symbolize life, light, and the cyclical nature of existence, often associated with rebirth and renewal.
In some modern spiritual practices, the solar cross may be seen as a symbol of balance, unity, and harmony within oneself or in the broader universe. It can be interpreted as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things and the potential for spiritual growth and enlightenment.
It's important to note that interpretations of symbols like the solar cross can vary widely depending on personal beliefs and cultural context.

Solar Cross
The Solar Cross is a solar symbol made up of a circle with an equal armed cross in the middle. It is one of the oldest spiritual symbols in existence, dating back to the Bronze Age (some sources say Stone Age, limited information available). There have been carvings of this ancient symbol found in Bronze Age burial urns from circa 1400 BC.
The solar cross represents a variety of things including:
the sun
the earth
the four seasons
the four elements
The most common representation being the sun. Symbolising the movement of the sun and its light, the solar cross was very important to prehistoric humans, both for its life-giving energy and its predictable cycle of days and seasons; particularly during the Neolithic to Bronze Age periods of European prehistory.
As a symbol of protection, the solar cross invokes the power of the sun god or all-father, as well as the guardians of four directions. It is a symbol of eternity that embodies themes of birth, death, and rebirth. If you meditate on the intersection of the cross, it serves as a very powerful centering exercise.
Because of this symbol’s association with the sun, it is typically connected to the fire element.
How it can be used:
rituals honouring the sun, heat, or energy of the flame
in purifying spells/rituals (fire purifies)
casting away the old
rebirthing the new
celebrations of the solstices
banishing negativity
casting out shadows
