Celtic week continues… The Celts are deeply symbolic folk.  Here’s a nice one – the Tree of Life… Branches reach high into the heavens while roots dig deep into the Earth.  Never ending knots, all interwoven signifying the connection between this world, the other world and all living things.

The Tree of Life.

Hey – have fun celebrating today!  Have a safe and fun St. Pat’s Day!

Celtic art conjures visions of knotwork – or what some tattooists call “Celtic Nightmares”. Not me. Can’t get enough, in fact!  There are three traditional styles of Celtic design:  knot work, maze patterns and spirals.  Celtic knotwork is distinguished by its never ending pattern, and also includes Zoomorphic designs (see the birds in the piece to the right).  Spirals are typically rendered in three’s, which while attributed to the Holy Trinity is pre-Christian symbolism for This World, the Otherworld and the connection In Between.  And then there’s the maze pattern… the path we take as we find our way each day… a metaphor for life’s journey.
