FREE: Sterling Silver Triquetra Necklace * Spiritual *

The listing, Sterling Silver Triquetra Necklace * Spiritual * has ended.

This is a really pretty necklace if your into the Celtic stuff.. This is a sterling silver triquetra pendant, with black and red oblong glass beads..
The Celts have a few different knots which resemble the triquetra. They have some intersecting meanings but each has its own purpose; its own base symbolism. For now, I’m strictly giving you information on the triquetra. Not anything that resembles it.

In Latin, triquetra means “three cornered”.

This symbol is also called the Trinity Knot or Celtic Triangle.







DESIGN

Three interlocked loops, creating the intersection of three circles. There is no beginning and no end to the knotwork. Sometimes a circle around the three loops is added.

WITH A CIRCLE

This is where the protection, infinite, and eternity theory comes into play. A circle is drawn around the triquetra to signify spiritual unity. This is a protection circle; something that cannot be broken.



MEANINGS/SYMBOLISM

There is certainly more than one meaning of the triquetra. Sometimes people believe it to mean more than one thing, others use it for only one purpose at a time, and some believe it to always and forever mean only one thing. It depends on the person and the purpose(s).

GODDESSES/GODS:

The Celts worshiped a moon goddess who was a trio goddess. She was associated with the lunar phases; when the moon was waxing, waning, and full.

Another trio goddess associated with the triquetra is the Celtic goddess Morrighan (who I can’t wait to write a novel based on!).

Symbol of Odin (a Celtic god).

Another possibility is a connection to the three Fates, of Greek Mythology.
