Celtic Triskele or Triskelion Runt Klistermärke

Also known as the Triskele, the Triskelion is an ancient Irish Celtic symbol thought to have been around during Neolithic times (around 3,200 years BC). This spiral symbol once again reflects the Celtic belief that everything important comes in threes. The Triskelion has three clockwise spirals connecting from a central hub, a little like the Manx three-legged symbol. In fact, the Greek word Triskele means three-legged. Also known as the triple spiral, the Triskelion has rotational symmetry and is very common in Celtic art and architecture. The Celtic spiral is one of the oldest and most primitive decorations on earth and is believed to represent the sun or ethereal radiation energy. Celtic spirals that are clockwise are believed to have a meaning connected to harmony or earth; if they are anti-clockwise they are thought to be pagan symbols that manipulate nature. The meaning of the Celtic Triskelion is seen as a symbol of strength and progress. As it appears to be moving, the Triskelion also represents the will to move forward and overcome adversity.
