    Celtic symbols
    This ornament is called triskel. It is made of 3 spirals symbolizing the everlasting movement of life. This symbol is called triquetra (from Latin with 3 angles). This Celtic sign with triangular design symbolizes the triple deity: Maiden/Mother/Grandmother, the eternal cycle: Life/Death/Rebirth, and the 3 spheres: Air/Earth/Water which Celts consider are the whole universe. This symbol is called Celtic Knotwork. It is considered to have magical power because it does not have beginning and end.
