The
Triquetra Three is a very important number in Celtic and Wiccan traditions. The Triquetra represents the threefold nature of the Goddess as
virgin, mother and crone. It symbolizes life, death, and rebirth and the three forces of nature:
earth, air, and water. The inner three circles represent the female element and fertility. The Triquetra symbol itself dates as early as the eighth century on
carved stones in northern Europe. A Norse rune known as the Odin Knot or Val Knot resembles it also. The pagan reverence for the symbol of three was quickly picked up by
the Christians. In fact, the Triquetra itself is sometimes seen on the robes of
Catholic priests; as is the now widely known symbol the Christians used to
entice the Irish Celts to convert, the shamrock. Christianity re-invented the symbolism of three to mean the Father,
the Son and the Holy Ghost, i.e., the Trinity. Symbolic three is important in Japan as the World Triad (mitsu tomoe) in Tibet as the Cosmic Manadala. Moreover, the World Triad was adopted by Gnostics as a symbol for the
threefold nature of destiny. It can also symbolise eternity. |

The Celtic
Triquetra (or Trinity knot). This
triangular Celtic knot is said to represent the three planes of existence physical,
mental and spiritual. While the three points are clearly separate, they
are interlocked together, symbolising the connection between the three
planes. |
