I wanted a tat to celebrate, well ‘me’ really, it was to mark a milestone along my life’s path and having gone through the phase of considering Chinese dragons and scantily attired vixens on my arm, I found myself looking at Celtic symbols after having read a Sci Fi story that touched upon the Book of Kells
What I ended up picking was the triquetra, a three pronged Celtic knot which offered broad interpretation for what it stood
The Celtics honored the Great Mother who had three personifications – the three lunar phases, other possibilities included:
- - Spirit Mind and Body
- Past, Present and Future
- Thought, Emotion, Feeling
- Power, Intellect, Love
- Creation, Destruction and Preservation
For me the interpretation was the connection between mind body and soul, and that is one of two reasons for this to be my pick – the other reason is simply that I liked the design!
What I have is a stylized version of what’s above, which is a simple Celtic knot
