I like the stag-antler-crucifix symbolism because it includes the notion of actively pursuing something/following something to where you need to go, coupled with the reality that, ultimately, Christ is the "where" that you "need to go."
The above is an old comment I left on a From the Narrow Desert post in which William explored stag-crucifix symbolism. I include it here because it connects well to Franz von Stuck -- a minor nineteenth-century German painter I've been studying -- and his take on the vision of St. Hubert.
