Celtic spiral knot
The spiral knot is one of the oldest Celtic knots. It’s a three-sided knot, with one line that splits into three separate spirals. It’s also known as the triskele or triskelion, and is thought to date back to around 3,200 BC!
It’s a reminder once again of the symbolism of the number three in Celtic culture. The word ‘triskele’ in Greek means three-legged, and again, it can stand for a number of different trinities. Some believe it stands for water, fire and earth, while others think it stands for the Holy Trinity.
The single line of the spiral knot highlights the interconnectedness of life and spirit, and it can often be found in spiritual places such as monuments and places of worship.
