TRISKELION
Universal Celtic symbol, Triskelion was found on countless statues and medallions. Renowned is the Triskelion of Newgrange, the megalithic sanctuary in Ireland. At Winter Solstice, December 21, the Sun with its rays penetrate in the megalithic mound and illuminate the stone in the end of the tunnel. In its simplest form it is a circle with three spirals inside, a symbol of heaven, earth and water, the components of the natural universe. But also symbolizes the triplicity of life: the Moon, the Triple Goddess for excellence in crescent-full-setting moon, symbol of the youth of the woman, his maturity and his old age. Three phases positive, but different, to be exploited in a different way. In a certain sense, the notion of the man who does not lose value with age and that is in harmony with creation.
