A Celtic symbol called the Triskele

The Triskele is a symbol often seen interesting and Celtic. And 'one of the largest and most symbols used in Celtic areas and can be things like tattoos, shields, stationery, clothing, ceramics and glass to find.

3 spirals, it seems that without the open ends together and is a solid line. And 'sometimes referred to as the triple spiral of those who are unfamiliar with the term Celtic Triskele. You can also see belowTri-spiral. The spiral coils are all liquid in the same direction. In Celtic symbolism is related to the triquetra in appearance and meaning. The symbol of the triple spiral is common in modern and ancient Celtic art.

The Triskele was actually found to be used as a symbol before the Celts reached the island of Ireland and is very old and has been more or less assimilated into the Celtic culture. It is unclear exactly where they were the first inhabitants of Irelandbefore the Celts. You can go wandering people down through Scotland, or Berber or sailor who came from the African coast, as was suggested a few. Others say, the beginning of the tribes descended from Miletus in Ireland, from Egypt to France and Spain and then Ireland.

In the pagan world of Triskele is connected to the mother goddess. It is a call of the three domains of material substance of the earth, sky and water. Perhaps it also had a secondary meaning towith reincarnation, as it is a solid line representation may be the endless cycle of life. It 'obvious that the number three is particularly important for early adopters of the symbol was.

The most common form of Celtic Triskele symbol was found on a tomb of the Neolithic period, at Newgrange, near the town of Drogheda. This marked the birth of Neolithic stone tools, organized villages with agriculture and the presence of crafts like weaving and pottery. This periodoccurred around 3200 BC at Newgrange, where it was found the Celtic symbol, came at different times in other parts of the world. Scientists and old stories from the field of Newgrange say how the symbol can be used for the cycle of pregnancy, like the sun are associated. Legend has it that Christianity is launched in Ireland. Perhaps the symbol of the tri-spiral and the ideals of Christianity is to be compared. The tomb of Newgrange built specifically so that the sun shines during the time of the solstice season.The sun was important to ancient cultures. Because the sun is a kind of spiral in a clockwise direction West to eat every three months and nine months of pregnancy an average of three spirals show Triskele closely interlaced as in a comforting womb. Triskele Spirals appear in a clockwise direction as well.

There is another possibility, the importance of Triskele. The tomb of Newgrange was said to have been built for the old king of the Tuatha Dé Danann Dagda MorStrain. This king had three sons. Perhaps each spiral was for each child.
