Celtic & Irish Symbolism

For those that have an interest in the Celtic path, this information is quite good.

I have found this bit of information particularly interesting:

Celtic Cross:
Symbol for Celtic Christianity that combines the traditional Christian cross with a ring through the cross’s intersection. Also referred to as the High Cross, the Irish Cross and the Cross of Iona. The ring is considered a solar symbol of energy, a life source.

My husband bought me a Celtic Cross many years ago in a Brussels gallery. It's the most beautiful Celtic Cross I ever saw and I wear it every day. It has become my companion and also some kind of talisman. It traveled with me as far as to India. But I also wore it when I had a bad accident nine years ago and was in need of surgery. It accompanies me in good and bad days, but that's what life eventually is.

I know what you mean, Morwenn. For me, the symbol that has been with me (long before Charmed came out!) is the Triquetra. But also the spiral plays a big part in my life.

Triquetra/Trinity Knot

The most common knot. Unity and trinity of soul, heart and mind. Three distinct yet interlocked levels: physical, mental and spiritual

Triple Spiral

The triple spiral of life shows the continuity of life, and how it travels in cycles. As with the triskel, the existence of “the three” stands for mind, body, spirit; birth, death, rebirth.
