Black Leather Bracelet Viking Sun Cross Nordic Runes
It’s a symbol of the sun, an object that has been worshiped since ancient times. The belief was that the symbol represented the chariot wheel of the Sun god. Ancient kings in Egypt and elsewhere used this symbol as they saw it as representing the highest power – the sun.
It represents the wheel, which gave power, strength and mobility to people and society.
In modern astronomy, the solar cross is used as the symbol for the Earth, rather than the sun.
In Christianity, the sun cross represents a halo, which is associated with angels and saints. The Christians also consider it a symbol of the power of God.
In neopagan and Wiccan beliefs, the solar cross represents the sun as well as the cycle of the four seasons or the four directions. It’s also considered to represent the four quadrants of the Wheel of the Year, a yearly cycle of seasonal festivals.
The solar cross represents the solar calendar, which charts the sun’s movements which are marked by the solstices and sometimes by the equinoxes as well.
The Sun Wheel symbol is believed to invoke the great cosmic powers to bless the Earth with fertility, life, abundance, prosperity, and peace. The cross in the Sun Wheel divides the circle with four parts, which are said to be representative of the solar calendar and are marked by the solstices. They symbolize the four annual seasons that have a very significant influence on the agricultural cycles.
The simple symbol of the Sun Wheel lends itself to several interpretations. Its divisions are also said to stand for the four cardinal directions East, West, North, and South. Giving an astrological symbolism to the icon, the divisions signify the four identities of life-self, intellectual, emotional and the actual manifestation.
