Symbols

When you think of a Celtic symbol, you probably think of a Celtic Cross, often adorned with interweaving knots.

While the cross is undoubtedly an important symbol, there are many lesser known but equally important and meaningful symbols found in Celtic mythology.

Triple symbols like the triquetra and triskeleon have been found in Jewelry from the time, and are still found today in the flags and heraldry of modern Celtic cultures. (The Isle of Man flag is a good example)
