The Emblematic Hermetic Cross of Manly P. Hall

The Emblematic Hermetic Cross of Manly P. Hall. This cross was designed by Manly P. Hall in the summer of 1923. The cross represents a composite of the emblems and figures of the various Mystery Schools gathered to form one harmonious pattern, thus signifying the unification of all religious and philosophical doctrines into one perfect and beautiful unit- a condition which must first come to pass before the ideals of Universal Brotherhood can be realized. This cross was given to Walter Stewart, who was Manly P. Hall's last ministerial student in the Church of the People, and is currently protected by CIRCES International and the Ordre Souverain du Temple Initiatique on behalf of the Church of the People. An oil painting was made of this cross by Armenian artist Mihran K. Serailian and then made into posters by the Philosophical Research Society in 1962. The cross is made of diamonds, platinum, gold, and enamel.
