Triskeles are one of the most common elements of Celtic art; they are found in a variety of styles in both ancient and modern Celtic art, especially in relation to the depictions of the Mother Goddess. They also evoke the Celtic concept of the domains of material existence Earth, Water and Sky, and their interrelations.

While many of the ancient designs certainly had some spiritually significant meaning, these have been lost to the ages. The continual looping of the designs suggests themes of eternity and interconnectedness, and knots may have been at one time to foil evil spirits. Interwoven figures of people and animals may have represented the interdependent natures of life-two or more knots laced together symbolize lovers, hunters and their prey, God and man, etc. Some knots were used as magical talismans for protection.
