His different names - Triskelion, Triskel, Triskele, Trefot, but he meant one thing - the unity of the three. With his help, a man was filled with the power of nature, which strengthened his spirit and protected him from all kinds of adversity.
In our article, read about how can the amulet with the image of Trefot help and how to use it so that it will bring the greatest benefit.
The history of the Triskelion sign
The word triskelion (or Triskele ) comes from the Greek τρισκελης, "Triskeles" meaning "three legs". This symbol is usually given a Celtic origin, but this is actually only partially correct. Although it is true that people often used it during the second Iron Age, called the Tene (Ve - II century BC), the triskelion has been represented since the Neolithic period, for example on the Newgrange tomb, which dates back to about 3200 BC. The triskel symbol appears in engravings more than 2,500 years before the Celts appeared in Ireland.
Theories of the origin of the symbol
The trixelion symbol, whose meaning has no single clear definition, has contributed its own intrigue to the history of world culture. To date, historians do not have a consensus on who was the first to perpetuate the tripod in world culture: the Greeks or the inhabitants of the Isle of Man, far from us, located between Britain and Ireland.
The Greek theory
According to the supporters of the Greek theory, it was with the light hand of the Greek travelers who first developed the island of Sicily at the beginning of the 8th century BC and called it Trinacria (trinacrios), that is, triangular, that the symbol appeared. The trinaclion, like its name, is based on the number of mountain peaks marking the borders of the island from the south, east and west: Cape Pachin, Cape Pelor, Cape Lilibey. The sign, invented by the Greeks, was called the Sicilian triskel. In the following centuries, the peoples inhabiting Crete and Macedonia, the Celtic and Etruscan tribes adopted this sign and introduced it into their culture.
The Triskelion of the Greeks was chosen as the basis for the flag of the land of Sicily. It has the image of legs running from one point bent at the knees with a woman's head in the center.
An interesting fact is that originally the center of the connection of the three legs was the head of Medusa Gorgon with hair stylized as three snakes, reminding us of guile, wisdom and treachery. It is one of the most terrible monsters with the face of a woman, whose gaze turned a man into stone, and he was beheaded by the hero of Greek mythology Perseus.
In 2000, the flag was changed and in its modern image, instead of the terrible head of Medusa Gorgon, the triskel center is decorated with the face of the goddess of fertility with ears of wheat instead of hair. Today's islanders no longer associate the female face on their flag with the dreaded Gorgon. And the symbol "triskelion" takes on an entirely different meaning.
The Viking theory
Proponents of the second version argue that the symbol was invented in the Irish Sea by the inhabitants of the Isle of Man around the V- VI century BC, who were at that time citizens of one of the oldest states of the era - the Vikings. The triskelion symbol adorns the flag of the Isle of Man to this day and was last modified in the 13th century.
The intrigue is that the signs of the southern and northern lands, between which lie thousands of kilometers of water and land, are remarkably similar to each other. There is a possibility that the symbol has much more ancient roots and where it actually originated remains to be discovered by new generations of scientists. And it is possible that the number of versions of the origin of the symbol will increase. Just as, perhaps, new theories will emerge to reveal its meaning. The triskelion continues to amaze.
The coat of arms of Sicily trinacria
So many tourists who come to the island of Sicily for the first time are interested in an unusual kind of souvenir - a triangle with three legs coming out of the center, which contains the head of the mythical creature Medusa Gorgon. Legends dating back to Antiquity are closely linked to the history of the island itself.
The coat of arms of Sicily with the image of the trixelion
The first meaning of the coat of arms of Sicily is the designation of the island itself with three extreme points. Since Sicily has the shape of a triangle, on each of the corners is a cape: in the West is Lilibeo, in the East Peloro, in the South Passero. Thus, each of the legs on the trinacria symbolizes the corners of the triangle. The name of the coat of arms of Sicily comes from the ancient name of the island given to it by the Greeks.
The sign, which has become one of the main symbols of modern Sicily, is very ancient. Some historians believe that originally each of the legs on the coat of arms meant the movement of the sun across the sky. A little later the meaning changed, and the trinacria began to be associated with the movement of time itself.
True, there are other opinions regarding the appearance of such a symbol of Sicily as the trinacria. Based on not the most popular version, this sign was closely associated with one of the goddesses of the Greek Pantheon. The snakes on her head are just the wisdom for which that goddess was famous.
Many modern depictions of the coat of arms of Sicily use ears of wheat instead of snake heads. It is a legacy of ancient Rome. During the times of the empire, Sicily was considered (besides Egypt), the main supplier of bread for all the citizens of Rome.
However, it is accepted that it was the ancient Greeks who first used the trinacria as a symbol of Sicily. Ancient Greek myths told fascinating stories about the gorgons who inhabited this large island. One of them was Medusa Gorgon - a terrible creature that takes the form of a woman, but has instead of hair snakes. She could turn anyone who looked at her into stone with her gaze. Thousands of daredevils were forever frozen in time. However, the hero Perseus was able to defeat Medusa by decapitating her. However, it soon became clear that even the monster's severed dead head can still turn people to stone. So it ended up on the coat of arms of Sicily and became an integral part of its symbolism. It is believed that the head of Medusa is able to protect the island from enemies just by looking at it! The oldest image of the triskelion dates back to the seventh century BC.
Triskelion Meaning
For the Celts in ancient times, the triskelion symbol had a sacred meaning, it was used to create pagan incantations, magical rituals. The sign was used as a talisman, which ensured the balance in the natural world, the independent stability, which was not affected by any of the elements. The Celts drew the Triskelion on household items, crockery, clothing, walls of the dwelling.
The Vikings pictured the symbol a bit differently than the Celts and denoted with it the will of Odin, the power of the gods. The symbol of Norman represented the trinity of soul, spirit and body. The Vikings made the sign widespread, and invested it with the sense of uniting the higher forces, the cyclical nature of existence, and the infinity of the universe.
In Slavic mythology, the Triskel was associated with the influence on human existence of the energies of life and death. The symbol was used as a talisman, saving from a sudden, accidental death, various domestic misfortunes and diseases. The northern peoples of Russia drew the symbol with broken lines.
Three rays coming from a single center were associated with sun rays that could show the right way or give a hint in solving life problems. The Slavs described the symbol as the unity of the three worlds - Pravia, Yavia and Navi. The sign was closed, it was not depicted explicitly and in plain sight, so it was very rare in the excavations.
In Buddhism, the triskelion was depicted as a wheel, where each part symbolized a certain concept.
The hub refers to the rules of etiquette, the rim to the science of meditation, and the spokes denote the acquired wisdom of life. The sign was used as a way of predicting the future, people tried to look ahead, foresee possible events and prepare for them. The monks used the symbol to perform meditative techniques to fill the soul and body with equilibrium and spiritual power.
In medieval Europe, the triskelion was actively used in heraldry. The symbol was found on the flags of the European provinces, coats of arms of famous noble families. Today the symbol adorns the flag of Sicily and the Isle of Man, and the rays are depicted in the form of three running legs, representing the continuous running of time. On the flag of Ingushetia, the red triskelion stands out brightly against a white background. The mark is found in the emblems of the U.S. Department of Transportation, some soccer clubs and in the badges of Irish Air Force officers.
The symbolic number 3
The symbolism of the triskelion leads us to the number 3. Indeed, the 3 has a special symbolism. The number 3, in the first place, is a a symbol of the trinity.. It is often associated with a child, the fruit of the union between a man and a woman (1 + 2 = 3). It represents the culmination, replenishment and balance of forces.
In a broader sense, the number 3 is found in the number of elements, as we have seen in the symbolism of the triskelion: three spatial dimensions (height, length, width) or three dimensions of time (past, present, future; childhood, maturity , old age).
The number 3 is also associated with the three
worlds (spiritual, intellectual, emotional), the three phases of the moon and the three kingdoms (animals, plants, minerals).
В Christianity one God is represented by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 3 is the number of the theological virtues (faith, hope, and charity).
For Buddhists there are three characteristics of existence (impersonality, impermanence, and dissatisfaction) and three "poisons" (greed, ignorance, anger). Buddhism also has its expression completed in the Triple Jewel: Buddha, Dharma, Sangha.
Taoists believe that the number 3 is perfect. Three is universally recognized as the fundamental number. It expresses the intellectual and spiritual order in God in the cosmos and in man.
In Buddhism.
In order for a person to make a connection with an amulet, it must necessarily depict a hub.
Distinctive in many ways, the Buddhist Trixel in its homeland is of tremendous importance to the people. It is represented in the Dharma wheel, specifically in its 3 components: the spokes, the rim, and the hub. The latter are the necessary rules of concentration for the interaction of the mind with the artifact. Behind the spokes is the wisdom that pervades ignorance, while the rim is the basics of meditation that Buddhists resort to during practice.
In Celtic peoples.
Through the trixelion, the Celts achieved harmony with nature and performed magical rituals and ceremonies. For them, a talisman was a source of energy and serenity, vitality. In this way, the Celts sought to give them magical properties and connect with higher forces by attaching the symbol to household items, clothing, skin and weapons. Self-sufficiency and independence lay in the symmetry of the triskellion structure, which also spiritualized the people. The Celts saw in the spirals of the symbol the cyclical nature of the universe, representing the sunset, sunrise and zenith.
Trixel with the Scandinavians.
In ancient times, sages and seers put this symbol on the body, it was allowed only to people of a mature age
In Norman culture, the sign was portrayed differently and differed from the Celtic "source". He was identified with Odin. The amulet symbolized the trinity of the different spheres of existence:
- Divine - in Viking mythology there are three capital gods: Odin, Thor and Loki;
- The earthly - the unity of the human Soul, Body and Spirit.
An interesting fact: thanks to the Vikings and their wanderings, the triskel was so widespread in the world.
Slavs
- In the Slavs, they were wizards, and among "ordinary mortals" amulets gained fame as powerful and dangerous - so they were always kept in a hidden place.
Our ancestors had their own opinion about the meaning of the Celtic triskel. "Triskel" indicated the balance of three worlds: people (Yav), the dead (Nav) and deities (Prav). The inseparability of separate elements of the pattern symbolized the power of Kin. Such protection in an extraordinary situation called for help of all "close by blood", including the souls of forefathers.
Fascinating historical facts
A lot of historical facts are associated with the sign of the valknut and some of them are very interesting.
Here it is worth saying that the symbol was used not only the Scandinavians, but also the Celts, the Germans and the Slavs. In each of these peoples the meaning of the symbol was somewhat different.
The meaning of the valknut symbol among the Slavs carried the unity of nature and the fact that valiant warriors who fell in battle would surely receive their reward in a better world.
In the Scandinavians this sign was considered magical and was applied to various objects, including weapons, to win the victory.
In the Celts and Germans, the valcnut was considered a symbol of strength, rebelliousness and rebelliousness. They were often worn as a talisman by those who wished to possess such qualities.
They were also often seen on funerary ships where the ancient Vikings placed the bodies of fallen warriors. It was believed that the symbol would help them get to Valhalla more quickly.
In Germany, this sign became Nazi after Hitler came to power and was actively used as a symbol of the invincibility of the Third Reich. Subsequently, the Walnut was perceived negatively in the countries affected by the actions of the Nazis.
Modern use of the symbol
The Isle of Man and Sicily are far away, but the Republic of Ingushetia is much closer, but it also placed a stylized sign on its flag. The author of the flag, which was approved in 1994, was Academician Ibrahim Abdurakhmanovich Dakhkilgov. The salt sign or sun sign is depicted on the flag with three rays rounded counterclockwise at the ends. This is the direction in which the Earth rotates around the Sun and the Sun rotates around its axis. According to the people of Ingushetia, the triskel will protect them from misfortune and provide them with well-being and prosperity.
We see the image of the triskelion all around us and in modern life. Fans of the Austrian soccer club First and the French club Gengham, in order to attract luck and ensure a victorious game on the field for their members, placed images of the sign on the team flags. Only FC First - in the image of three running feet in soccer gear from - in the image of the mathematical formula of the spirals of Archimedes of Syracuse.
Or, for example, the flag of the U.S. Department of Transportation is nothing more than the same stylized salt sign.
The principle of "three-leggedness" can also be seen in the famous automobile brand Mercedes. Is not this fact the secret of popularity of cars of the famous brand?
The Banner of Peace
The symbol of three circles or dots has a very wide area of interpretation, largely similar to the equilateral triangle. The most famous variant of the sign was the Banner of Peace, which was designed by the Russian artist, philosopher and writer Nikolai Konstantinovich Roerich for the International Pact for the Protection of Cultural Heritage in 1935. The description and purpose of the symbol in the official treaty is given as follows:
How widespread the sign is in the religious culture of different peoples and what inspired the artist's ideological and visual content of the Banner of Peace, Roerich himself says in his letters and notes, published in his two-volume collection, The Diary Sheets:
Magical Properties
It must be said that the triskelion has a mysterious meaning, because it contains a magical component, in which the ancient peoples believed.
It is easy to notice that at the heart of the drawing and its symbolism lies the number three. The magic of this number is also reflected in subsequent religions that replaced paganism. In the Christian canons, the holy trinity: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit are nothing but echoes of the pagan symbol. Medieval Europe widely used the sun symbol not only in the coats of arms of the nobility, but perpetuated this symbol on the flags of entire localities.
To whom would Celtic Triskel amulets be suitable?
In the triskel lurks a huge charge of magical energy, so apply it to special ceremonies should be very carefully.

As an amulet
As an amulet, the Celtic Triskel symbol works much more gently:
- It helps to reveal innate but undeveloped talents, makes a person more insightful, wise, balanced.
- At the same time "tripod" acts as a "trap" for other people's witchcraft - any magical influence is automatically neutralized if the owner of the talisman is under the protection of triskel.
Amulet is not used from time to time, it is a symbol, which entrusted his life once and for all.

People who are tormented by the complete lack of faith in themselves, their abilities and goals. Triskelion will not find a point of reference and will not be able to help the owner, if he himself is confused in his desires and aspirations. Unconcentrated energy will be dispersed, the talisman will not catch it, and accordingly, will not let in the right direction. It is important to remember that when wearing an artifact of this kind, you must sensibly dispose of its power and not waste its potential in vain.
Description of varieties
There are 2 varieties of the valknut symbol. The first is three triangles intertwined with each other and a single whole, the second is a continuous broken line.
In the first version, the triangles seem to intersect each other, in the second they are intertwined.
At first glance, these varieties of walnut are very similar, but on closer examination, they are quite different from each other.
The first sign symbolizes the absolute power of Odin, who can both break the chains that hinder human development and confuse his ways and thoughts and throw him off course.

Trefoil tattoo
The image of a shamrock is often found in contemporary tattoo culture. Execute it in accordance with the actual size as a single element or as part of a large composition. This sign on the body does not lose its purpose - to attract good luck. Tattoos are perceived differently in different cultures:
- In the East - a symbol of eternal summer, serenity and relaxation;
- In Europe - the sign of the Trinity.
Most often the image is applied to the neck, behind the ear. It is also performed on the hands and feet. Women pierce a kind of bracelet from the image of the plant, emphasizing his tenderness. Men select the calf of the leg for a tattoo. Trefoil indicates their masculinity and success. Excellent sign will look in the shoulder blades.
At first, tattoos were performed in the Celtic style, for which black and gray shades are inherent. Clover was depicted in the form of interwoven lines. Now there are different variants of application. More often it is the green color of the sign. Masters strengthen the symbolism of the image with other details: horseshoes, crowns, roses, violets, etc. Complement the drawing with inscriptions that bring good luck.
Illustration
The general principle of the image of the triskelion is three curved lines with a common point in the center. They may resemble running legs, spirals or even the head of a beast. Gradually, the stylistics of the sign changed and began to acquire a variety of forms. It is also worth noting here that few people know the significance of the triskelion. The symbol, the culture in which the sign is used, its material expression - all this is very interesting, and the signs do not remain static, embodying all in new forms.
Thus, amulets were decorated with ornate ornamentation in the form of intricate curved lines. They could contain cosmogonic and zoomorphic elements or vice versa acquire precise geometric features.
However, there is a general pattern in the application of the triskelion - the symbol pattern must be symmetrical and carry in itself a powerful energetic charge. If an object with an applied pattern on it to unwind in a clockwise direction, you can see a kind of "movie" in which the cycle of movements will be repeated.
Valknut
Three interconnected triangles got their name from the ancient Scandinavian words valr (killed warriors) and knut (knot). The sign is present on many archaeological sites of ancient Germanic peoples. The compound noun valknut appeared in modern times, and it is unknown what the symbol was called at the time of its historical depiction.
Scholars, giving a description of the valknut trinity symbol, find it difficult to interpret it precisely. Some associate the sign with the god Odin. Authoritative expert on Germanic and Celtic paganism academic Hilda Ellis Davidson believed that the figure meant Odin surrounded by his attributes, two wolves or ravens. These animals, like the wolf, were often depicted on cremation urns found in Anglo-Saxon cemeteries in East Anglia. Since the symbol is present next to the image of Odin on the funeral slabs and offerings, most experts believe that the sign correlates with religious practices associated with death.
The image is used in the modern folk culture of neo-paganism. Like other ancient symbols, in our time the mark valknut is acquiring new interpretations. It is used by various political and commercial groups, and sometimes the image is found in contemporary popular culture. Since the sign comes from the traditions of Germanic paganism, it is used as a symbol of their heritage by some "white" nationalist groups. Despite this, the valknut has not been classified by the German government as an undesirable image.
