The Triskelion: The Eternal Dance of the Ages
One of the most recognizable and fascinating forms of Celtic symbolism, the triskelion has its roots deep in European history and in the beliefs of our ancestors. This simple but striking shape of three interconnected spirals is more than just an artistic motif. It is a window into the soul of a people who worshiped the mysteries of life, death and rebirth.
Before the days of the Celts, in an epoch when humanity was just beginning to understand its environment, the earth was worshiped as a benevolent primordial mother. She was the essence of fertility and the cradle of life itself. The trinity of this spiral may have begun as a reflection of this deep devotion to the earth, but over time it has taken on many facets of interpretation.
Three is a sacred number in many cultures and the Celts were no exception. In the triskele, the three-part spiral symbol, life is reflected in all its phases. It can be seen as a representation of mother, father and child – the sacred family unit that is the essence of life. Or as the continuous journey through past, present and future, each spiral reminding us that life is a cyclical pattern of events that repeat themselves over and over again.
But the triskele goes beyond mere family ties or counts of time. In its deepest interpretation, it represents the eternal trinity of power, intelligence and love. This Trinity represents the foundation upon which the human experience is built. It can also be seen as a symbol of the Creator, the Destroyer and the Sustainer, with each part of the Trinity playing a crucial role in the eternal cycle of creation, maintenance and destruction.
