The triskele, also known as the triskelion, is one of the oldest symbols of Celtic culture and is strongly associated with Ireland. It consists of three spirals radiating from a common centre, representing movement, balance and the constant cycle of life. For the Celts it represented the unity of three forces - for example, life, death and rebirth, or earth, water and sky. The symbol already appears on prehistoric monuments, such as the Irish site of Newgrange. The triskele recalls the harmony of nature and the inner growth of man. It is seen as a protective sign that brings strength, stability and spiritual connection.
