The cross is one of the most ancient human symbols, and is used by many religions, most notably Christianity. It is frequently a representation of the division of the world into four elements[citation needed] (or cardinal points), or alternately as the union of the concepts of divinity, the vertical line, and the world, the horizontal line (Koch, 1955).
Nevill Drury's Dictionary of Mysticism and the Occult definescross as: An ancient pre-Christian symbol interpreted by someoccultists as uniting the male phallus (vertical bar) and the femalevagina (horizontal bar). It is also a symbol of the four directions anda powerful weapon against evil. (Drury, 1985)
