In Victorian times the term Triskeles and Triskel were also used to describe this type of symbol, but these have now largely fallen into disuse. There stands the religious monument the Recevresse, where passing pilgrims would leave offerings for the church. But by the late Medieval period the Triskelion still lingered on and had become a common feature in architectural design, especially in the European churches of the Gothic style that flourished throughout the region from the 13 th to 16 th century.Ī stunning architectural example containing the Triskelion can be found at Avioth in northern France. With the coming of the Roman Empire around 2,000 years ago, the Celtic tribes would quickly be conquered and many of their ways would soon be lost forever. It seemed to have been the most common and most important of their symbols, therefore it was found throughout Celtic society, appearing on many of their artifacts, such as on ceremonial gold cups, everyday pottery, clothing, coinage, weaponry, shields, religious items and carved into stone monuments. This particular style of symbols is most commonly associated with the Celtic tribes of central Europe and Britain, especially these loosely referred to as the Gaelic nations of Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
One of the most powerful of these is the Triskelion symbols that dates back to as long ago as 5,000 years (or more), to the very dawn of civilization in Europe. As many of the primitive tribes of ancient Europe did not have a formal written language, they instead relied upon their mystic symbols to convey thousands of years of their culture, wisdom and spiritual meaning.
