Triskeles

The name Triskeles comes from the god of spring or summer, and the seasons play an important role in this symbol’s story.

Triskeles, among the mortals goes through a complete cycle through all the stages of life and death, rebirth and extinction. As Triskeles travels through the elements, earth, water and fire, he bestows grace, wealth and good fortune to a human. The Celts believed that travel has powerful properties of protection.
