The Triquetra is an ancient symbol that is used extensively by both pagans and Christians; it has different meanings for different people. A piece of jewelry with the Triquetra symbol is often given in contemporary Ireland to signify love and affection (a promise ring or necklace); the Triquetra also features as a motif on Celtic wedding bands and engagement rings.

THE TRIQUETRA KNOT symbolizes the three faces of the Goddess, balance of Mind, Body and Spirit. The circle signifies the ever-turning cycle of life, death & rebirth . Many say it represents the Holy Trinity.

The Triquetra is most commonly know to represent the threefold nature of the Goddess. Maiden, Mother and Crone, or Wise Woman. It also symbolizes life, death and rebirth, in addition to the three forces of nature: Earth, Air, and Water. A common representation of the symbol is with a circle that goes through the three interconnected loops of the Triquetra. The circle emphasizes the unity of the whole combination of the three elements. For Christians, the Triquetra represents the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three persons as one God. Its three identical arcs represent equality, its continuous line expresses eternity, and the interweaving represents indivisibility and unity. Triquetra is a word derived from the Latin tri- (“three”) and quetrus (“cornered”).
