Knotwork Mugs
Description: Celtic pagans or neopagans who are not of a Celtic cultural orientation, may use the triquetra to symbolise a variety of concepts and mythological figures. Due to its presence in insular Celtic art, Celtic Reconstructionists use the triquetra either to represent one of the various triplicities in their cosmology and theology (such as the tripartite division of the world into the realms of Land, Sea and Sky), or as a symbol of one of the specific Celtic triple goddesses, for example the battle goddess, The Morrígan. The symbol is also sometimes used by Wiccans and some New Agers to symbolise the Triple Goddess, or as a protective symbol.
Description: Celtic High Cross Decorative Knotwork is a modern design of ancient symbolism. In Ireland, it is believed that Saint Patrick combined the symbol of Christianity with the sun to give pagan followers an idea of the importance of the cross. Celtic crosses may have had origins in the early Coptic church used in early Christian Egypt. The Celtic cross is a form of Christian cross featuring a nimbus or ring that emerged in Ireland, France, and Great Britain in the Early Middle Ages © 10 November 2023, 12:48:43 Tracey Harrington Simpson
