Meaning of the Ceili Triquetra:

Well known for its appearances in the ancient Book of Kells, the Triquetra or Triskele (also known as the Trinity Knot) is a three-arched symbol that has become almost synonymous with Celtic culture.

This Celtic knot symbolizes the unity of Earth, Water, and Fire. The unbroken circle represents eternity. The mythological and cosmological interpretation includes that of the triple goddess (virgin, mother, and wise woman) and extends to the three phases in which the Greeks saw the moon.

We choose this iconic Celtic symbol because it is universal, multicultural, and pan-religious, with origins deep in ancient history and extending into Buddhism, Paganism, Christianity.

It’s also impossible to find the beginning or end of the Triquetra, symbolizing our interconnectedness with one another and that this connection has no beginning and no end.
