Cotton bag with Triquetra heart

Triquetra – Three is a very important number in the Celtic and Wiccan tradition. This shape is formed by 3 vesica piscis (fish bladder), which may have a circle inside or around them. It is a knot of trinity, used as a religious symbol by both Christians and polytheists. For Christians, it is the symbol that unites the Father (God), the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. Triquetra symbolises the three goddesses of the virgin, the mother and the elderly. It symbolises life, death and rebirth and the three forces of nature: earth, air and water. The inner three circles represent the feminine element and fertility.
