It is safe to say most of us enjoy receiving gifts. We might even enjoy buying gifts for our loved one, but to find something special, beautiful, useful, meaningful and most importantly something that particular person can enjoy – well it can be just plain tricky.
It is also safe to say that to buy something for people you are closest to is the trickiest of all.
It does defy all logic – you know these people, what they like and do not like. But let me ask you – how many times have you chosen a gift for your wife/mother/friend and were feeling pretty proud of yourself and your choice only to see a) their face drop when they open a gift and b) a gift you have so thoughtfully chosen stashed away somewhere, never worn, never used or worst of all returned?
Celtic jewelry can be a great choice if you are shopping for that special woman in your life. Special? Check. Beautiful? Check. Unique? Check.
Yes, even if your ancestors are not Irish and even if you are not on the look out for that engagement or wedding ring.
One of the most popular designs in Celtic jewelry are Trinity knot pendants. The design of the Trinity knot pendant is intricate, delicate and beautiful.
But the meaning behind it is even more beautiful.
The Trinity knot or as it also known, the Triquetra, (from the Latin words tri which means three and quetres which means cornered) was used to describe any type of three cornered shape.
Even though nowadays the Trinity knot is associated with Celts and Celtic art and knotwork, we have to differentiate between the Celts and Celtic art.
Celts were nomads who lived all over Europe – one of the reason perhaps why the Triquetra has been found on rune stones and coins in Germany.
But Celtic art and the knotwork interlace we have grown to know today should be associated with Irish Christian monks that emigrated from continental Europe to convert the pagans to Christianity. And the monks in turn were influenced by the knotwork of the Middle Eastern countries.
Although it is still unclear exactly what the Triquetra meant to the Celts, it was most heavily featured in either metal work or illustrated manuscripts such as the Book of Kells – the Triquetra was usually a part of a more elaborate design.
Historically Celtic art has gone through 4 different periods.
- Hallstadt (700 BC) – when Celtic art was predominantly about the geometric designs.
- La Tenne (450BC) – floral and geometric designs.
- Early Christian (400AD) – the knotwork interlace as well as designs of animals and people.
- Insular (also known as Late Christian, 750AD) – the likes of the Books of Kells bring the knotwork interlace to its highest point in both jewelry and manuscripts.
As Celtic art developed and changed over the years so has the meaning of different types of knotwork. It’s difficult to say with any accuracy what symbolism the ancient Celts attributed to the Trinity knot but since it can be found on anything from stone carvings to illustrated manuscripts later on, it’s safe to say it did have a significant meaning.
Some research shows that for the pagans the Trinity knot might have signified the interconnectedness of the 3 feminine powers – the Mother, Maiden and the Crone.
Some suggest that it did mean the connection between the body, mind and soul.
Since there are no written records the ancient Celts took the secret of the meaning to their graves.
On the other hand, some more information is available for the Early Christian and the Insular period – it is said that the Trinity knot represented the interconnectedness of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
For the modern day meaning – the so-called Neo-pagans use the Trinity knot to symbolize the connectedness of Land, Sea and Sky. Wiccans on the other hand have come to associate it with the triple goddess.
Since the ancient Celts are not around anymore to shed some light on the original meaning of the Trinity knot, we only have the more modern meanings to use as a guide. But as with anything in life every little thing has a meaning that you give it.
Fact remains, the Trinity knot pendant makes for a beautiful gift for that special woman in your life, no matter what meaning you decide to give it.
