The Celts were people in Iron Age and Medieval Europe who spoke Celtic languages and had cultural similarities, although the relationship between ethnic, linguistic and cultural factors in the Celtic world remains uncertain and controversial. The exact geographic spread of the ancient Celts is also disputed; in particular, the ways in which the Iron Age inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland should be regarded as Celts has become a subject of controversy.
Dara comes from the word “doire”, which is Celtic for “oak tree“. Oaks were the most blessed of trees to the Celts. The Druids interpreted the language of them to spread meaningful, philosophic messages to others. Remember, Celtic culture relied heavily on nature and spirituality. Fittingly, the design of the knot symbol is based on the root system of the oak tree.
Celtic knots are mostly endless – and for a reason. Each of them was and continues to be a symbol of some form of infinity and eternity, with specific stylized aspects being used to denote certain other qualities in our human lives. The Celts used stylized knots as decorations, good luck charms, and aids for teaching lessons. Specific knots, like the Dara knot, were known to be symbolic of the intricacy and symbolism of nature and its forms.
Triquetras are associated with ancient Christian symbolism and were introduced relatively late into Celtic society. ‘Triquetra’ comes from Latin meaning ‘three cornered’. It is a symbol of the Holy Trinity or the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It has been interpreted a number of other ways for example as the connection between mind, body and spirit; the past, present and future; or a more stylized version of the fish symbol for Jesus (a loop crossed over at one end).
