'''One of the most important symbols of Catholics and Protestants is the cross'''. The priest makes the sign of the cross on the head of infants as they are sprinkled; churches are built in the shape of the cross; when Catholics enter church, they take holy water and make the sign of the cross; during Mass, the priest makes the sign of the cross 16 times and blesses the altar with the cross 30 times. The cross is universally worn as jewelry around the neck, and is prominent in professing Christian homes.
Early Christians considered the cross as the accursed tree, a device of death and shame, [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2012:2&version=KJV Hebrews 12:2]. They did not trust in an old rugged cross. Instead, their faith was in what was accomplished on the cross (or stake, or whatever it was Jesus was impaled upon). That is how the Apostles preached about the cross, [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=I%20Corinthians%201:17-18&version=KJV I Corinthians 1:17-18].
'''It was not until Christianity became paganized (or paganism was Christianized), when the cross image came to be thought of as a Christian symbol, part of worship. Crosses in churches was introduced in A.D. 431; the use of crosses on steeples did not come about until about 586. [http://www2.mf.no/bibelprog/vines?word=%AFt0000616 The Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words] says the cross originated among the Babylonians of ancient Chaldea, used as a symbol of the god [[911:Occult_symbolism_VII#Tammuz|Tammuz]]'''. Almost any book of ancient Egypt shows the use of the [[911:Occult_symbolism_IV#Cross_of_Tau|Tau cross]] (shaped like the letter T) on old monuments and walls of ancient temples. Seymour says that the cross, unchanged for thousands of years, was reverenced . . . among the Chaldeans, Phoenicians, Mexicans, and every ancient people of both hemispheres, [http://books.google.com/books?id=P8Wt5wUSpwsC&printsec=frontcover&dq=The+Cross+in+Tradition&ei=ssloS8alOojMzgTvlfCGDQ&cd=1#v=onepage&q=&f=false The Cross in Tradition, History, and Art, pp. 22, 26]. The cross had been a sacred symbol of India for centuries among non-Christians. Prescott reports that when the Spaniards first landed in Mexico, they were shocked to behold the cross, sacred emblem of their own Catholic faith, reverenced in Aztec temples. A heathen temple in Palenque, Mexico, founded in the ninth century B.C., was known as The Temple of the Cross. Ancient Mexicans worshipped a cross as tota (our father), similar to apostate Israelites who worshipped a piece a wood as my father [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%202:27&version=KJV Jeremiah 2:27]. In 46 B.C., Roman coins show Jupiter holding a long sceptre terminating in a cross. Vestal virgins (temple prostitutes) of pagan Rome wore the cross suspended from their necklaces, as Roman Catholic nuns do today.
Since Jesus died on a cross, some say, doesn't that make it a Christian symbol? Let us suppose He was put to death with a hatchet; would this be a reason to venerate the hatchet? Again, the important thing is not the way Jesus died, but who died (the son of God), and why He died (for the sins of mankind). '''Crucifixion was a common method of execution for flagrant crimes in Egypt, Assyria, Persia, Palestine, Carthage, Greece, and Rome. Seymour reports, Tradition ascribes the invention of the punishment of the cross to a woman, the queen [[911:Occult_symbolism_VII#Mother_goddess|Semiramis]]'''.

It is philosophical in the sense that '''it [also] represents the "generating fecundating principle" by the perpendicular shaft [Phallus], and the matrix of womb of nature, the female producing principle [Female Vulva]''', by the horizontal shaft.

* [[w:The Satanic Rituals|The Satanic Rituals]] #7 (Die elektrischen Vorspiele)
** '''The trapezoid has long been regarded in by occultists as the most satanic of shapes, especially adapted to enhance demonic manifestation. Indeed, the middle order of the Satanic brotherhood is called '[http://www.trapezoid.org/ The Order of the Trapezoid]'. [[w:Anton_LaVey|Anton LaVey]], the founder of the [[w:Church_of_Satan|Church of Satan]], refers to an occult principle known as the 'Law of the Trapezoid'. His writings underscore the existence of a magical science of geometric angles and spaces which is very prevalent in the [[911:United_Nations|United Nations]] Meditation Room ... LaVey says architecture can enhave an evil, spiritual atmosphere.'''
** Former Satanist, '''[[911:Occultists#Ex-Occultists|Bill Schnoebelen]]''', says this type of coffin is built to draw in and preserve evil, dark energy. While in Satanism, Bill had to build one of these trapezoidal coffins. The idea was to attract enough vampiric dark demonic energy, to draw sufficient quanties of energy, and to store that evil energy so that, at a right moment, the dead man can come out of the coffin, a demonic resurrection! Schnoebelen stated that, while in the coven, '''he and fellow members used to speculate as to whether the Roman Catholic Church was practicing Vampirism, for they saw much of that system within Catholicism. The fact that Pope John Paul II was buried in a trapezoidal box just reinforces Bill's suspicions.'''[http://www.fmh-child.org/S3.15.98.html]
** The bottom line of all this is that the consummate architectural form of the Satan-worshipper is the trapezoid; '''and he believes that this shape will create a spiritual 'cloud-chamber' of sorts across which he may track the hoofprints of the demons he wishes to invoke. It is believed to be the perfect atmosphere for the manifestation of the unholy and the cursed." '''[Dr. Cathy Burns, "Billy Graham And His Friends", p. 13-1; quoting former Satanist, Bill Schnoebelen, "White Sepulchers: The Hidden Language of the Mormon Temple", p. 46]

***** Statement by [[w:Dag Hammarskjöld|Dag Hammarskjöld]], UN Secretary-General (1953-1961) written for the [http://www.un.org/depts/dhl/dag/meditationroom.htm dedication of the United Nations Meditation Room]:
****** "We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence. This house, dedicated to work and debate in the service of peace, should have one room dedicated to silence in the outward sense and stillness in the inner sense. It has been the aim to create in this small room a place where the doors may be open to the infinite lands of thought and prayer. '''People of many faiths will meet here, and for that reason none of the symbols to which we are accustomed in our meditation could be used.''' However, there are simple things which speak to us all with the same language. We have sought for such things and we believe that we have found them in the shaft of light striking the shimmering surface of solid rock. So, in the middle of the room we see a symbol of how, daily, the light of the skies gives life to the earth on which we stand, a symbol to many of us of how the light of the spirit gives life to matter. '''But the stone in the middle of the room has more to tell us. We may see it as an altar, empty not because there is no God, not because it is an altar to an unknown god, but because it is dedicated to "<u>the God whom man worships under [[w:Devil#Other_names_for_the_Devil|many names]] and in [[w:Category:Horned_deities|many forms]]</u>" (Lucifer, Prometheus, Mephistopheles, Satan, the Devil, The Dragon, The Old [[911:Occult_symbolism_X#Serpent|Serpent]], [[w:Great Architect of the Universe|Grand Architect of the Universe]], Baphomet, Pan, Seth...?)'''. The stone in the middle of the room reminds us also of the firm and permanent in a world of movement and change. The block of iron ore has the weight and solidity of the everlasting. It is a reminder of that cornerstone of endurance and faith on which all human endeavour must be based. The material of the stone leads our thoughts to the necessity for choice between destruction and construction, between war and peace. "<u>Of iron man has forged '''his swords''', of iron he has also made '''his ploughshares'''</u>" '''(Those words were carefully chosen, please refer to [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joel%203:10;&version=9; Joel 3:10] – [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=29&chapter=2&verse=4&version=9&context=verse Isaiah 2:4] – [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Micah%204:3;&version=9; Micah 4:3]).'''  The same statement has been written near the UN headquarters in the Ralph Bunche Park.

Cross of Tau

  • Various notes
    • The Cross of Tau; also called the Tau Cross, St. Anthony's Cross, the Old Testament Cross, the Anticipatory Cross, the Cross Commissee, the Egyptian Cross, the Advent Cross, Croce taumata, "Saint Francis's Cross" or the Crux Commissa. Hence, this cross is often used during the Advent season. (Wikipedia)
    • Among the Egyptians, the tau, with an oval ring or handle, became the Crux Ansata, and was used by them as the constant symbol of life. Doctor Clarke says (Travels v, page 311) that the tau cross was a monogram of Thoth, "the symbolical or mystical name of Hidden Wisdom among the ancient Egyptians." [1] (Probably the reason why catholic priests wear the same symbol, symbol of a Hidden Wisdom priesthood society)

Triple Tau

Quadruple Tau

  • The Cross Potent[2]
  • That part of the zodiac embracing the summer solstice, and reaching from the vernal to the autumnal equinox, was considered the most important and sacred by the ancients, because the sun was therein exalted, and because it embraced the whole of the seasons of springtime and harvest. It is that part of the zodiac only which is therefore represented in the symbol of the triple tau. If, however, we unite in one emblem the triple tau and that of "a circle embordered by two parallel lines," we will have a correct geometrical representation of the whole zodiac, the four principal points of which will also be designated in a similar manner, by which it will be seen that the two emblems are in fact but parts of one complete whole.[3]
