Most of these common symbols relate to the spiritual journey through life: the cycles of birth, death, and spiritual resurrection are represented by careful, curving whorls. In interlace (Celtic knot work), the interconnectedness of all things is revered and celebrated. …continue reading Celtic Earrings – A Look At The Best Styles
