=== Life Sketch ===
A triquetra, druid symbol above.
Originally referred to as simply a ‘triangle,’ the triquetra is now more aptly called a three-cornered shape.
While the symbol was found in insular art and even showed up in the Book of Kells, it was almost never seen by itself alone in the medieval Celtic language.
For the Druids, it represented the natural forces of earth, air, and water.
On a more spiritual level, it has been known to symbolize life, death, and rebirth..
the meaning varies from aspects of spirit, nature, being-ness, and of the cosmos.
The origin of this symbol has been an issue of controversy for centuries.
Christians feel that it started with the Monks, who brought these designs along with their teachings of Christianity when attempting to convert the Celts of the day.
However, it’s been common practice for Christianity to adopt ancient pagan symbols and rituals into its own belief system, making it a very good possibility that the original symbol was indeed Celtic to begin with.
