The spiral is a powerful, recurrent symbol in Celtic culture. Its provenance can be traced back to the sixth century. But what does it really mean?

Perhaps you’ve noticed the Triquetra, one of the most recognizable symbols of the Celtic people, in the world all around you – upon the stone crosses in Irish churchyards…on works of art…in books…

Each of the three sections of the Triquetra, or Trinity Knot, are meant to illustrate The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
When considering the impact of this ancient symbol, it’s important to take a look at the cultural history of the British Isles during the times following the Holy Roman Empire. …continue reading The Triquetra – A Mystical Symbol Of The Celts
