This beautiful piece features a trinity knot, surrounded by the Triple Goddess, a full moon and waxing and waning crescent moons. The crescent moons have spiritual adornments created from linework and cut-outs, and a floral burnwork motif.
This piece carries a lot of symbolism:
- The moons, in general, are powerful symbols with diverse meanings across cultures, often representing femininity, fertility, new beginnings, change, and intuition, as well as the cyclical nature of life and the moon’s phases.
- The Triple Goddess moons symbolize youthful energy, nurturing and protective forces, and wisdom respectively. Together, they represent the cycle of life.
- The trinity knot is also represented in multiple beliefs and cultures:
- The three loops are often interpreted as representing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of the Holy Trinity.
- The number three held significance for the Celts, and the knot could symbolize the three domains of earth, sea, and sky, or the three phases of life (youth, adulthood, old age).
- The Trinity knot can also be seen as a symbol of eternity, unity, love, and commitment, or as a representation of the interconnectedness of all things.
