Triskells: Journey of Life
One of my favourite symbols is the triskell. A triskell is a design made up of three spirals, or triple spirals. The spirals have different meanings in different traditions:
- In the Goddess tradition, the triple spirals represent the three stages of womanhood: maiden, mother and crone.
- The Celts saw the journey of birth, death and rebirth in the changing directions of the spirals.
- In Christian tradition, the triskell represented the holy trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Silent Light website in the link below has he most beautiful photographs of triskells, and walking meditation I have ever seen.
