Rood is both Dutch for red, the color of the root chakra, and the name afforded to the crucifix that hung at the entrance to medieval churches. Rood represents the juxtaposition of the selfish energy of survival with the selflessness of forgiveness. For in a world rife with malice, forgiveness is the only power that can unite and ensure survival. Forgiveness is not some mystical power reserved for religion; it is an everyday power that humans can bestow on each other and – most importantly – themselves.
