"the work of angels"
The intricacies of Celtic artwork has been referred to as "the work of angels". The delicate knotwork, mystifying spirals and intricate key patterns demonstrates a wonderful understanding of geometric motifs blended with animals and natural forms or with human forms.
The first written record of the Celts talks of their occupation of the Danube region. From there they spend west establishing tribes throughout parts of France, Spain and the British Isles. The Roman armies overran most this territory however they were not successfull in conquering Ireland and parts of Scotland. Ancient writings mention the Celts as a fierce warrior race, often fighting with their bodies decorated with blue woad paint, inked tribal tattoos, and their hair flowing wildly, even spiked with grease. The Romans were most impressed by the Celtic tribesmen's horsemanship, the control of their fighting carts and their treatment of their horses.
Ireland preserved Celtic Art for the world by incorporating Celtic designs into their illuminated manuscripts. Charlemagne (742-814) asked the Anglo-Saxon scholar, Alcuin (c.735-804) of York to teach this art method to other monks and scribes throughout the Holy Roman Empire.
Celtic Symbol of the Month
| The Trinity Knot has been found in various Celtic illuminated manuscripts. Called the Triquetra, which means "three-cornered" in Latin. To early Christians, it symbolized both the Trinity and fish ("pisces") - shown as three fishes. The Circle represents unending love In the TV series Charmed it was used to symbolize "The Power of Three acting as One." |
  |
Any symbol (Celtic, Tribal, North American Indian, etc.) may have a variety of meanings depending on the time period, the tribe, outside forces, etc. And modern man may interpret the symbol with a modern mind, missing totally the cultural thinking of the tribe in its time period. |
