Wicca: the complete craft. Croix pattée. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Croix pattée dite "croix fromage" à Omerville (95). Croix pattée devant l'église Saint-Martin à Omerville (95). Description[modifier | modifier le code] En héraldique, elle a été utilisée par les Chevaliers Teutoniques (leur emblème était une croix pattée noire sur fond blanc) et plus tard, elle fut associée à la Prusse ainsi qu'à l'empire allemand de 1871 à 1918 bien qu'elle fût encore en usage après 1918 par les militaires allemands.

Une version est employée par l'armée allemande (Bundeswehr) comme symbole et peinte sur les véhicules, les avions, etc. Une croix pattée rouge sur fond blanc fut également l'emblème des chevaliers templiers. La croix pattée est emblématique du Vexin dans lequel on retrouve de nombreuses bornes (Croix de carrefour) et croix monumentales sous cette forme. Elle peut être utilisée sur une carte pour localiser un site chrétien. Voir aussi[modifier | modifier le code] Sur les autres projets Wikimedia : Quincunx. A quincunx of pips on the fifth side of a die Historical origins of the name[edit] Examples[edit] Quincunx patterns occur in many contexts: A quincuncial map Cosmatesque pavements with the quincunx pattern In heraldry, groups of five elements (charges) are often arranged in a quincunx pattern, called in saltire in heraldic terminology.

The flag of the Solomon Islands features this pattern, with its five stars representing the five main island groups in the Solomon Islands. Literary symbolism[edit] Various literary works use or refer to the quincunx pattern for its symbolic value: References[edit] The Garden of Cyrus. The Garden of Cyrus, or The Quincunciall Lozenge, or Network Plantations of the Ancients, naturally, artificially, mystically considered, is a discourse written by Sir Thomas Browne. It was first published in 1658, along with its diptych companion, Urn-Burial. In modern times it has been recognised as Browne's major literary contribution to Hermetic wisdom.

Overview[edit] The Garden of Cyrus is Browne's Neo-Platonic and Neo-Pythagorean vision of the interconnection of art, nature and the Universe via numerous symbols, primarily the number five, and the quincunx pattern along with its variants, including the figure X and lattice design. Its slender but compressed pages of imagery, symbolism and associative thought are evidence of Sir Thomas Browne's complete understanding of a fundamental quest of Hermetic philosophy, namely proof of the wisdom of God and advocation of intelligent design.
