Triskell - steel pendant

Steel Pendant - Triskell

Meaning: 

The Triskell comes from the Celtic triskin which literally means “three rays of light” (in Breton an triskell, in French triscèle).

With the dot and the circle, the spiral, from which the triskell originates, is one of the oldest symbols that Humanity has ever known.

Before being a symbol, however, it corresponds to a functional reality that puts the cosmic forces in communication with the resonance chamber of Man, which is the chest.

The circle has always represented for ancient Man, perfection, the vitality of the Sun and the sign itself of Life.

Its 3 curls are normally increasing from left to right (just like the sun), although they are usually represented as symmetrical and equal to each other.

Its symbolism among the Celts is varied (and it survived even after Christianization through the adoption of the value of the Trinity) but fundamentally represents the cosmic cyclicity of:

• the 3 solar phases (dawn, noon, sunset)
• the 3 ages of man (childhood, maturity, old age)
• the 3 natures of divinity (human, animal, plant)
• the 3 aspects of the goddess (virgin, mother, old woman – mother, daughter, sister)
• the 3 aspects of time (past, present, future)
• the 3 elements of man (spirit, soul, body)
• the 3 elements of the world (earth, water, air), which with their movement represent the 4th element (fire), normally summarized in the circle that frames the triskell.

The ancient Celts used this symbol as protection against bad luck and to completely ward off any form of negativity.
