Alicja Amulet Celtic Cross #14

A brass made amulet, which shows a compromise connection of archaic circle, mandala, with Christian cross, that is ancient pagan rituals versus new religion imposed on Celts. Crosses erected as signposts marked another areas of Christianity and protected local people against bloody and cruel rituals of former religions. The cross became a symbol of higher civilization, more privileged and intelligent. Magical practices had never been abandoned, but it was believed that the cross, as axis of real and unreal worlds, protects, or even saves from oppressions.
