Wood Burned Triquetra Celtic Goddess-Wiccan Protection-Christian Trinity

The pyrography on this Triquetra accentuates the encircling ring woven through the Trinity Knot. By lightly toasting it with spirals and swirls, creating hidden hearts along the way, you can see the ‘weave’ of the knot work! Please note, this is a picture of a stock item that will be made custom for you. The wood burning will be slightly different from piece to piece, but it will contain the major themes mentioned above. MEANING: This symbol has had many incarnations of meaning over the years. Here are a few we know of: Pagan/Wiccan: Originally it is believed that to the early Celtics, the three arcs represent the three aspects of the ancient Celtic Goddess; Maiden, Mother, Crone. With the circle woven through the three arcs, the meaning moves toward, joining or unity. In the Fifth Century, as the Christian Church moved into Celtic areas, this symbol was adapted to the Christian Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The symbol of protection to modern Wiccans. A triquetra is one of the four symbols on the cover of the Led Zeppelin album, “Led Zeppelin IV, where it is used as the personal symbol of John Paul Jones. Thanks to the TV series, “Charmed,” the triquetra became popular from its use on the cover of the “Book of Shadows” meaning the “three” are one.

Each piece is finished with a blend of clear oils that brings out the natural color of the wood. For more information on the process of creation, please see my profile.
