Welcome to Kel's Cool Crosses. My Crosses are handmade from driftwood. I use crystals, stones, feathers and leather strips to decorate my Crosses. I also burn in Rune symbols or Neolithlic symbols or American Indian symbols, depending on the style I am designing. Each Cross is unique and ready to hang on the wall. It is difficult to capture all the detail of my Crosses in a photograph. The following are comments from customers that have purchased one of my Crosses:
"I love the Cross! Thank you!"
"Kel, these are simply gorgeous. Wonderful energy-thank you so much."
"Super Crosses! Real quality Artist! I will be back!"
"Love the cross! I appreciate it's meaning & uniqueness because of my Native American ancestry."
My crosses can be found on eBay under the category of 'wall crosses.' Put wall crosses in the 'find' box, put home and garden in 'in' box. Click on 'refine search' to specify seller and enter havasukelley. Click here: eBay
THE HISTORY OF THE CROSS
Crosses were around long before Christianity as the most cherished of religious symbols. It is believed that the ancient Cross symbolized the earth's four directions and the divine center.
Spaniards saw Indians worshipping the Cross. The Peruvians and Babylonians had the Maltese Cross. The druids were believed to have made their Cross out of a stem and two branches of the oak tree. Buddhist Crosses are common throughout the East. The Thor's hammer Cross is a well-known Pre-Christian Cross and several deities of ancient Egypt hold a Cross in their hands. Wheeled Crosses are seen on some Pre-Christian stones, possibly as symbols of solar worship.
Ireland is known for its many ancient Crosses. Pre-Christian Crosses have been identified at Dowth and New Grange on the Boyne, Knockmany of Tyrone, Deer Park of Fermanagh, Cloverhill of Sligo and Slieve-ha-Calliagh near Lough Crew of Meath. The ancient faery people of Ireland, the Tuath-de-Danann, had Crosses that were adorned with snakes, birds and other animals.
In the Scottish Highlands, the Fiery Cross, when dipped in goat's blood and flaming, was a message of alarm among the wild tribes. A serpentine figure was often twisted around the Fiery Cross.
The Cross is still a very powerful symbol of faith all over the world.
