TRIPLE GODDESS TRISKELLE, DC/8 C/6 Item: 10731

The Triple Goddess triskele is a symbol that combines the triskele, an ancient Celtic symbol, with the Triple Goddess, a figure in Celtic mythology. An ancient symbol from pre-Christian Europe that features three curved or jointed segments that spiral from a center. The triskele has many meanings, including representing the three elements of earth, water, and air, or the three domains of land, sea, and sky. A figure in Celtic mythology that represents the maiden, mother, and crone, each of which symbolizes a stage in the female life cycle and a phase of the moon. The Triple Goddess triskele combines these two symbols, often depicting the three goddesses between the arms of the triskele. For example, a Triple Goddess triskele plaque might feature the goddesses as the Maiden, Mother, and Crone, with each figure surrounded by fish, hounds, and birds.
