Celtic symbolism refers to the use of various symbols and motifs in the art and culture of the Celtic peoples, who inhabited regions of Europe such as Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. These symbols often represent concepts like nature, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of life. Common symbols include the Celtic knot, which signifies eternity and the cycle of life, and the triskelion, representing motion and progress. Many Celtic symbols are rooted in ancient mythology and folklore, reflecting the beliefs and values of the Celtic tribes. Animals, such as the wolf and eagle, often symbolize strength and freedom, while natural elements like trees and water convey wisdom and healing. These symbols continue to influence modern art and spirituality.
