Triquetra velvet bag

Triquetra – Three is a very important number in the Celtic and Wiccan tradition. It is made up of 3 vesica piscis (fish bladders), 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 a symbol uniting the Father (God), the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. The triquetra symbolizes the three goddesses as virgin, mother and elder. 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.
