The Celtic triqueta is a symbol that has been among people for a long time thanks to its great meaning and it is also a very beautiful symbol and that is why It is an ideal design for a beautiful tattoo. The Celtic triquette is called that thanks to its three corners and is one of the most demanded Celtic symbols for tattoos.
The reality is that there is no concrete meaning about its design and there are many conflicting opinions regarding the interpretation and meaning since itThe Druids did not write their teachings anywhere and it is the oral traditions and those that have been passed down from generation to generation that give it meaning. Historians must also document themselves in archives that they find in the different peoples that were Celts in their time.
The origin of the Celtic triqueta
In some Christian religions it is claimed that the monks created the triquetra to try to convert the Celts to Christianity. The Celts claim that they were the ones who created them for their own purposes and they also affirm that it was the Christians who seized the Celtic triquette to use it to their benefit and try to make them see things in their own way, trying to manipulate their reality.
The archaeological excavations put even more mystery to the origin of the Celtic triquette since the triquzeta was carved in stones at times of 1000 years AD The Celtic triquette has been found carved in Europe and on German coins.
Two representations of the Celtic triquette
There are two representations (designs) in particular that are the ones that attract the most attention and the ones that carry the most weight today:
- A knot forming three symmetrically equal ovals finished in a point that intertwine forming a circle in their center.
- Three ovals intertwined with each other which, in turn, traverses and unites an independent circle.
What does the Celtic triqueta symbolize
The Celtic triqueta symbolizes the three vital stages of people: life, death and reincarnation. These three vital stages are also intertwined with nature and its four elements: air, water, earth and fire, which is represented by the circle.
Energy channeler
The Celtic triquetra, for many people, also has great power, so there are people who use it for Wiccan rituals in order to heal and bless people. A lot of people think that the Celtic triquetra has the power to channel energy onto the sick Thanks to its shape, it is ideal to be used in a healing ritual.
Although just as it has the power to channel energy for good, there are those who think that it also has the power to channel energy badly and cause the person to get sicker and even die. But it is something they accept because death is another part of life and nature.
The triple feminine dimension
There are those who argue that the Celtic triquette also symbolizes the triple dimension of the feminine divinity (girl, woman and old woman or also daughter, mother and sister). There are people who attribute this meaning to the trisquel, the same as the union of mind, soul and body.

But nothing is further from the truth, the Celtic triquetra has nothing to do with negativity, but shows the balance of life.
The Celtic Triquetra is all positive

Hello, how do you all know in my life I thought to get a tattoo, but in the course of time this image always came to me everywhere I went when I saw a movie, a series, on the street when I traveled even when I slept. I no longer knew what to think at first I was afraid I will not deny it but later I investigated everything about this symbol and my desire to have it with me was greater until one day when I decided to tattoo it on my right arm, and you know I feel happy until I gave an original touch with color to the edges.
