This cross is named Cherubim, in honor of the cherubim – guardians of the sacred realm and divine wisdom. Their name comes from the Hebrew kerubhim, with roots in the Akkadian karibu, meaning "intercession." Cherubim are those who watch over the boundary between the sacred and the profane, keepers of the mysteries of creation.
In the biblical vision, they are the guardians of the Gates of Heaven, wielding a flaming sword to prevent the unpurified from returning to the Garden of Eden. They also spread their wings over the Ark of the Covenant, guarding the tablets of the Ten Commandments – a symbol of the divine knowledge given to humanity. They are not messengers but keepers of the sacred mysteries, mediators of wisdom.
This is the call of the Cherubim: to remind you that the path to the Divine passes through understanding and knowledge. When looking at this cross, let it be a threshold between worlds, where you leave your ego at the gate through humility, and your Divine Self steps forward to the mysteries of creation.
