Triskeles, Triquetra, Trinacria are different version of an ancient Indo-European symbol that we can find in different civilizations trough history.

The Triskele symbol, otherwise known as the Triskelion, is a trilateral symbol consisting of three interlocked spirals. It evokes the Celtic interpretation of the three realms of material existence: earth, water, and sky and all their interconnections. The symbol is also thought to represent the three worlds: spiritual, physical, and celestial. Other Trinity connections associated with the triskele are life-death-rebirth, past-present-future, earth-water-sky, and creation-protection-destruction. Triskeles with the left facing spirals recalls the sun symbol of life and rebirth, while the right facing spirals recall the Katabasis, the descending to the underground and the transformation.

The Triquetra is a triangular figure composed of three interlaced arcs that relates to the number three, like the three activities of ancient society: worship, war, and toil, the tripartite division of the world into the realms of Land, Sea, and Sky, the three moon and sun phases. It is also thought to have a connection with ancient triple goddesses.

Trinacria is a triangular symbol composed of three legs bent at the knee. The symbol is anciently closely associated with Sicily and the Greek society. The three legs in the Trinacria Symbol stand for the three promontories of Sicily. In the Symbol of Sicily, the Trinacria also presents the head of Medusa with entwined serpent’s hair and ears of corn. The ears of wheat represent the symbol of the fertility of the land while the head of Medusa refers to the three gorgon and the ancient apotropaic symbol of the gorgoneion. The arrangement of the three legs, suggests a rotation connected with the cycles of Time, Sun, and Moon.

The Three Hares symbol features three hares or rabbits chasing each other in a circle. Each of the ears is shared by two hares, so that only three ears are shown. The symbol is thought to have a range of symbolic or mystical associations with fertility and the lunar cycle. Rabbits and hare have always been associated with the fertility of the earth, the rebirth of spring and the moon phases, so the symbol is also connected with the idea of life, death, and rebirth, with the three phases of women’s life and with the menstrual cycle.

Thanks to those powerful symbolism, these figures have always been used as a protection amulet, as an apotropaic symbol, and as a charm for luck, abundance, and prosperity.

Triskelion or Triskele

The triskelion or ‘triskele’ is also known as the tri-spiral or ‘Spiral of Life’. The three spirals in the triskelion are interconnected with no open ends thus creating one continuous line. Each spiral turns in the same direction. The three spirals represent balance, harmony and continual motion indicative of the flow of life and of the Earth in her seasons and cycles.

Some words I thought needed to be made (based on their Greek and Latin names, respectively: triskelion and triquetra).

trî- = three

croχos/crocos = leg, foot

cernâ = corner, angle

The Sufis still whirl in a sacred dance or active meditation (mystical Islam) to connect with Allah, God, the Universe, the Source, the Creative Force, Love, Life, Fate or any other way you would prefer to call it.

Our North-Western European pagan ancestors did, too.

May pole dances are a distant reminder, but (ritual) dancing was prohibited by Charles the Great (Charlemagne), who became king of the Franks in 771 and dedicated his life to converting forcing the European tribes to Christianity.

There are still some whirling symbols left though.

Ca. 100-200 CE picture stones, Gotland museum, Visby, Sweden.

Some say these whirling wheels represent the Sun. I'm not sure, and I need to contemplate more why I feel I disagree with it (I lean towards something more abstract). (I'll update when I've wrapped my thoughts around it ;) ).

Frankish belt, estimated 7th century (source).

And as a quick thought leap, maybe spirals are a good addition to this story, too. (Thinking out loud here, nothing final.)
