The Tree of Life

In the belief of ancient Druids, trees have different power, traits and characteristics.  This will depend on its various usage and level of importance in the community.  Trees have always been a source of food, shelter and warmth to the early Celts and studies showed that their existence and livelihood all started close to the trees.

The most popular Celtic symbol is the Tree of Life. To the primeval Celts, they believed that trees are play an important role in their lives.

Most commonly one can see the tree of life depicted as a tree budding from a pot. The pot is frequently designed with the symbol of Mother Earth which is the source of all forms of life.

Like many Celtic symbols this can be interpreted in different ways. This can be associated to the concept of rebirth as the Celts have connected the idea of the seasons changing overtime and how the trees adapt to these changes. The Celts even performed various rituals to mark the transformation of the trees underwent.

They also associated the Tree of Life to the balance of nature and how it works in harmony to its environment. They have linked this to its attribute of strength, wisdom and longevity.

The ancient Celts just shows how rich they are in terms of their culture and how icons can be their guide to their way of life.

The Shillelagh is a wooden walking stick and cudgel or club.  This is traditionally made of oak or blackthorn wood and usually formed as a stout knotty stick featuring a large knob at the top.  This is also a symbol usually seen in early Irish folklore.  The ancient stick was produced by smearing the wood with butter and placed up the chimney to cure thus giving the Shillelagh its distinctive black glossy look.

The large knob at the end of the stick is made as a handle but also purposely designed as a hitting end used for striking or disarming an opponent. The hollow end can be filled with molten lead to give harder blows and this is known as the “loaded stick”.  Most Shillelaghs are made with a strap attached and this is similar to other walking sticks that allow the user to have it placed securely around his wrist.

This symbol represents Irishness and can be commonly seen to show heritage and culture.  The Boston Celtics even has a logo of a leprechaun leaning on his Shillelagh.  Officers of the Irish Guards are given this wooden stick as a symbol of tradition. This simple representation shows a long way of history and was actually a weapon passed on from one generation to another.

The Serch Bythol is another celtic symbol for everlasting love. This symbol is denoted by knots and two triskeles. The triskeles is a three cornered knot representing the mind, body and spirit in its three corners. It is a symbol that embodies eternal life and when placed side by side, it creates an endless, graceful flow of lines. Hence, the unification of the two symbols signifies the merging of the body, mind and spirit bonded in a circle showing eternal love. This icon is not as well known as the Claddagh but it is no less significant.

The Celtic love symbol is still common in today’s world and can be seen everywhere from fabric prints, wedding rings or even tattoo designs. The popularity can be attributed to many legends and folklores associated with these symbols. These are considered as epitomes of eternal love and romance and you don’t have to be of Irish heritage to appreciate for what they stand for.

The Celtic symbol of love goes hand in hand with the well known Irish Symbol of love and that is the Claddagh Ring see our full range of claddagh rings here

The butterfly as a Celtic symbol is mostly similar in meaning across most cultures. It closely represents inspiration, transformation and rebirth. Because of its meaning, the butterfly symbol would usually adorn birthing gowns, bed sheets and blankets as a sign of smooth transition of welcoming a new baby to the village. The concept of this majestic icon symbolizes the recycling of life both spiritually of physically. The transformation of this creature from pupa to butterfly embodies rebirth and the early Celts respected this change and have associated this into their lives.

Celtic symbolisms are depicted in many shapes or characters and they have used these to record their ideas and beliefs. Their art work was handed down from generation to generation and they have managed to have the actual design intact, unfortunately most of their meanings have been murky and diluted. It is through the help of early Christian monks, who appreciated their beauty, which allowed most of the preservation of this magnificent art.

Sometimes known as the Gaelic Harp or Heraldic Harp, the Celtic Harp is a symbol of love in the form of music, poetry and lyrical art. It also symbolizes a bridge of love connecting heaven and earth, its unique sound that reflects serenity and pureness of the heart. King David also used this instrument to express his love and devotion to the Lord.

The ancient Irish kings even have harpist employed to entertain them. Carvings revealed the presence on this musical instrument as early as the 12th century with old artifacts found dates back to the 15th century.

During the time were Celtic Chieftains still rule, the most honored musicians were the harpist. In their social class they ranked just behind the chiefs and bards. In time of war the harpist would bring the finest golden instrument adorned with jewels, this resembles the Tungsten wedding bands of today, they lead the men into battle giving them courage and valor through music.

The Celtic warriors were considered as one of the most fearsome fighters in early Britain. They have dominated for 500 years and won numerous battles. This was revealed by the Romans who were well known as master record keepers and kept records of their many early encounters. These primeval people were lived for war and both men and women were treated as equals when it comes to the challenges of life. They were a race of strong spirited individuals always having the heart of courage.

 Many of their symbols and tattoos represent their status and achievements in these battles. Some of these icons are symbolic representations of animals seen in nature or can sometimes be an odd yet powerful mythical creature. One example of this mythical image is the Griffin.

 The Griffin is a combination of two fierce animals and it is a figure made up of half lion and half eagle. The Griffin’s likeable qualities include gentleness, nobility and justice. These can also be depicted on tomb stones as they are considered as loyal guardians and protector of life. This legendary creature is an incredibly strong figure and only used to capture the attention of the mightiest gods. Old tale has it that a full grown Griffin will never be taken alive and will fight to the bitter end. This is a symbol of a savage fighter who has the heart to overcome all challenges.

This was a representation of intelligence, friendship and most of the time linked to good luck. This is mostly seen as a sign of good fortune because they are generally seen in the seas during times of good weather or when the waves are calm and fair. With this animal’s cleverness and speed on the water this is surely a sign of positive aura; the dolphin is highly respected in the world of Celtic animals.

The Primeval Celts always had a clear understanding of the intimate relationship between nature and beast. Their respect to all living creatures can be highly seen on how they associate these animals as a guide to their daily lives. Their representation to this magnificent creature is definitely a good way on how they perceive their lives living with the animal kingdom.

In Dublins Fair City where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying “Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!”

Alive, alive oh, alive oh!
Crying “Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!”

Now she was a fishmonger and sure t’was no wonder,
For so were her mother and father before,
And they each wheeled their barrows,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying “Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!”

She died of a fever and no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone,
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying “Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!”

The early Celts handcrafted this and its design slowly evolved with such intricate and decorative details when it was passed on from generation to generation.  This is also now serves as a gift to celebrations of weddings, valentines, birthdays or christenings to show how emotionally important the other person is.

This is was initially an ordinary spoon but the handle is now intricately detailed with different symbols expressing love and adoration.  The most popular icon that always never fails to be on the Welsh spoon is the heart. This is rationally linked to love and the feelings of the giver. The Wheel is also seen on this work of art and linked and to the word “support“ while the horseshoe represents the sense of good luck.  There are still a lot of symbols that can now be seen on the Welsh Love Spoon as they have already been added through time.

Their symbol also stands for love, inspiration and promise.  This only shows how unique and talented the early Celts are when comes to romance.

The distinctive characteristics of this symbol features two hands that are rounded together holding a heart which is usually decorated by a crown.  The hands are commonly depicted as delicately holding the symbol of love.

There are different perceptions of this ring and can be used to show engagement, eternity, wedding, relationship or eternity.  Its meanings will vary depending on the person’s usage or how it is placed on her fingers.

There are three generally accepted meanings of this lovely ancient symbol.  Its meaning is based on how it is placed to on the hands.   If the ring is placed on the right finger and the heart is pointing to the fingertip, this will implicate that a woman is free of any attachment.  The second idea is also given by the ring being placed on the same finger but with the ring turned around and this would imply that the person is romantically involved.  The last commonly accepted by the norm is when the ring is worn at the left hand on the wedding ring finger and this will connote that the person is already married or engaged.

This symbol has been passed from centuries to centuries and the Claddagh Rings are still being worn today.  This can be commonly seen on jewelry or art pieces.  Knowing how they have been part of our heritage makes us feel proud that an age old tradition has never died.

Animal symbols often times connote positive qualities like courage, strength and patience. They act as guide or reminders to the early tribes of the Celts giving them encouraging path or direction on their daily living.

One of the most powerful Celtic animal icons is the bull. This represents strong will and pure determination. It may also imply a different meaning giving the impression of stubbornness getting it from the trait of the belligerent bull, hence the term “bull headed”. The representation of this sign will always be dependent on the person or object it is associated to.

On the other hand this can be associated to men’s virility and a mark to a women’s fertility. This is the reason why during the olden times, the bull symbol can be usually seen on bed chambers as depicted on robes, pillows and sheets. It is said that it enhances the mental state that leads to sexual strength and endurance.

A third implication of this powerful beast is linked to great power and riches. The bull was a known source of food for the early people and gave a more practical meaning on how this animal advanced with their lives.

This is an iconic representation of extreme loyalty, courage and honor.  It is believed during this primeval period that this symbol offers mystical powers of healing and can also be seen illustrated with the Celtic heroes.  It is also believed that the Irish Filidh or seers consumed the meat of a dog to gain supernatural powers of prophetic vision.

Primordial warriors considered an honor to be called a “hound”, this gave them a status symbol of being courageous and highly spirited in times of war. They are considered as master hunters and proficient in their crafts.

The Wolf on the on the other hand were constant companion of the Deities.  They are helpers or guides and a close attendant of the forest god Cernunnos.  ]

The creative minds of the early Celtic people proved to be a culture of profound intellect.  This served as their guide and gives the early tribes their sense of direction.

The horse was an important animal to their lives that it was commonly associated to the sun god.  The best known deity was the war goddess Epona.  The name was derived from the Gaulish language which was widely used in the northwest area of continental Europe.  This came from the word “epos” which means horse and “epa” is a feminine equivalent of a female horse.  The word “on” was commonly found in ancient gods and goddesses like  Divona, Carnonons and Mantrona.  Hence the name Epona means “divine mare”.

This Celtic goddess was so popular that she was the only one who was worshipped across the borders of Rome.

Other Celtic horse representations is the father god Teutates who appears as a bearded horse.  The goddess Macha has a shapeshifting ability and one of its three aspects appears to be a horse.  Horses also appear in Irish and Scottish folklore and the most notable is the Pooka.  A dangerous creature that lures unwary travellers to their death.

The origin of the claddagh symbol dates back to the 16th century when a native of Galway City a Richard Joyce who was captured on his way to the west indies by a the Algerian Corsairs. Richard Joyce was sold as a slave to a goldsmith who trained him in the art of jewelery making, after his training the goldsmith gave Richard Joyce back his freedom. Upon his return to his native village of Claddagh just on the out skirts of Galway City, he started to make jewelery the way his old master had taught him, he subsequently came up with the design of the symbol we know today, the Claddagh which was very quickly taken up by the local people as a Betrothal or wedding symbol. Because of its popularity and tradition you will see this symbol a lot on Irish Jewellery especially on the Claddagh Ring. It is now very much an international symbol of great friendship and love.

This icon is associated with the Celtic Arwen symbol which represents the balance of human nature.  Scholars have studied different Celtic symbols and came with the conclusion that this represents the five fundamental elements of the universe which is earth, water, sun, air and fire.

The center circle represents unification of all elements and shows their boundless connections. Some also studied that the Five Fold is the union of the four seasons of summer, winter, fall and spring.  Others associated it with the four directions of the planet; North, East, West and South.   All of these are joined by a fifth element which binds the entirety of all given aspect.
There are a lot of Celtic representations that have been developed in time and each with distinctive meaning.   Many of these symbols were retained through primeval Celtic jewel designers and have also been elaborated in design and concept.  I hope this will still remain in our custom and preserve the intellectual history of our forefathers.

The hands signify Friendship, the Crown signifies Loyalty, and the heart Love.

The fabric watch strap is embroidered with the Claddagh symbol to finish the classic Irish look.

The well-known story of Fionn Mac Cumhaill or also known as Finn MacCool also shows this Celtic symbol as a significant part of the story.  The Druid Finniegas was able to capture the salmon of wisdom and left his catch to his apprentice Fionn to watch over the fire as the fish cooks.  When Fionn tried to touch the blister on the roasting fish he got burnt and sucked his finger. Fionn was able to capture the salmon’s wisdom and can now recall it powers by drawing his finger to his mouth.

This is because, on ancient Celtic belief, the Trout and the Salmon fed on nuts of the sacred hazel trees.  This is where they receive knowledge and were also known to be keepers of this gift.  In ancient Celtic legend they are usually found in sacred springs or wells that are places of physical healing.

There are still a lot of stories revolving around the Salmon of  Knowledge and it just proves how the Celts had a deep understanding of nature and how they gave importance to their culture.

This symbol is associated to St. Brigid, Patroness of Ireland.  She is the founder of the first Irish monatery in Kildare.  She is kind and her heart is overflowing with unbounded compassion and helps other people without any restraint.  This drew multitude of people at their door step but her charitable work also enraged her father who is a disbeliever of Christianity.  On her father’s death bed, she sat by him and weaved a cross.  She explained its meaning and before her father passed away he became a Christian.

This now became her insignia which represents her humility and concern for the poor.  It is believed that her cross keeps evil and hunger away from homes and it’s usually hung during the feast of St. Brigid which is the first of February. The cross is commonly made up of straw or rushes.

She is known with different names and it’s Brigit to the Irish, Brigandu in Brittany, Bride in Scotland and Brigantia in Northern England.

In the old Celtic culture this was considered as an important symbol as it can be usually seen in their art.  These depictions can be seen in their tombs, amulets or even at their shrines as sacrifices.   The Celts offered wheels as gifts to the gods and played an important role in their sacred devotion.  Some old relics even prove that this was a symbol also used as jewelry or an ornament and was a common art during that age.

The circle represents the sun which was believed to have cosmic powers and considered as the center of the universe.  The cross was intended to signify the sun’s connection to wisdom, self, nature and the gods. Though the cross can also depict the four directions in the compass or it can also describe the four seasons.

The Welsh Dragon is one of the most familiar Celtic symbol as it is seen in the flag of Wales. They also have a motto that states “Y Ddraig Goch Ddyry Cychwyn” which translates to “The Red Dragon Leads the Way”.

You can see this Iconic figure as a four legged dragon having one of its front legs lifted up. It is commonly drawn with intricate details showing complicated lines portraying a powerful dragon.

You can very well say that this figurative representation is actually a very important part of our culture because it even evolved to symbolize a nation.  The oldest record showing the use of the dragon to represent Wales was in 820 from the Historia Brittonum.  It is also said that it is a symbol that King Arthur used during his battles and this was also used by other ancient Celtic leaders to show their authority.  Throughout the time of the Tudor Monarchs, the English crown’s coat bear the dragon and was used as a supporter together with the English Lion.

Historians have also suggested that the red dragon was used as an emblem to represent Wales for more than twelve hundred years.
