Speaking with my instructor today he recounted stories and incidents where he's noticed people who receive a cross as a gift tend to soon afterwards have bad luck or bad karma, as if to say: 'here is your cross', and then suffer on it.

I know the cross is a symbol of death, but is there a relationship between having one, or having received one and then being subsequently given much more of your karma? Similar to how we know the runes draw in cosmic forces, does the symbol of the cross draw in morbid forces or debts?

Any other information regarding the symbolism of the cross would be appreciated as well, thank you.

A cross given as a gift can stimulate the emergence of certain karmas; that is why we generally do not recommend giving a cross as a gift unless the receiver can handle the ordeals. If the recipient is a student who knows how to handle ordeals, then it is no problem, and can give them something useful to work on. However, one should understand that the events that may occur are not created by the gift. The recipient is not receiving new karma, it is their own karma due to previous actions that is being stimulated and made visible.

Similarly, the gift of a knife can stimulate the emergence of certain karmas related to conflicts, disagreements, etc. To avoid this, the antidote in this case is for the recipient to give some coins in exchange. It is possible that the same tool will work with the gift of a cross. I have not had an opportunity to test it.
