The Cross is a prominent symbol in Esoterism and has many meanings throughout history.

The Egyptian Ankh, or Cross, symbolizes the uniting of the two Tantric Poles and the responsibilities the Initiate acquires during the Spiritual Work.

The Celtic Cross symbol represents a prehistoric instrument that could measure the Sun and stars, and invent the zodiacs to tell time long before organized religion likened it to a crucifix.... These crosses were used to measure the earth in prehistory allowing sea-going hunter-gatherers to navigate the Atlantic long before Columbus or the Vikings. The Celtic cross reveals with its simplicity of design, ease of function and honesty of purpose, how easily we can become blinded by dogma, social conformity and peer group pressure.

Aztec artifacts depict Quetzalcoatl carrying a cross, whereas in Hinduism the Cross was thought to have been spun from the perpetual motion of the universe.

The Cross can symbolize the inter penetration of the two poles as well. In the practice of Alchemy/Tantrism, the Cross can represent the transformation within one's self, the death and the rebirth into Spiritual life.

...And the angels of Elohim arose, and Diabolos was smitten.
