The Triquetra symbol is old, but like many ancient symbols, no one knows for sure where and when it exactly originated. For the Celts, who revered the number "3", believing that everything of importance comes in threes, the Triquetra may have represented a whole host of things. Popular belief has it that the three points symbolize the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, with the endlessly looping pattern representing eternity. To modern Wiccans, this symbol might relate to the nature of the Ancient Goddess; representing The Mother for creation, The Maiden for innocence, and The Crone for wisdom. Some other Pagans associate the three points as mirroring the three domains of earth; land, sea, and sky. Other Pagans are known to associate the Triquetra symbol with the body, mind, and spirit, bound together to form the soul. Later, for Christians, the meaning of the symbol was adapted. The Triquetra was a handy tool for teaching the ways of Christianity and the Holy Trinity; The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
