Rooted deep in the valley floor, roots drinking clean river water, a solitary oak endures for 400 years.

Generations of birds, small creatures and insects have occupied its branches and nested within it, its canopy safe haven for deer and fox.

Tribes, villages and towns have orbited its sphere through the changing seasons.

The searing cry of the hawk and children’s hands at play, gatherers and cultivators, harsh and fair weather, starry nights and the near miss of the axe and saw, making up the history of its days.

No recorded history attaches particular meaning to Celtic knot work aside from the universal symbolism of the endless wheel, unending line or continuation and inter connectedness of life. However, it is generally agreed that spirals reflect themes of consciousness and balance, interlacing the unending cycle of life and death, and key or maze patterns the twists and turns of life’s journey.

Animal symbolism is more straightforward:
Hounds or dogs represent loyalty, dragon represents rebirth and birds purity or nobility and the boar ferocity or strength.

Our best advice when choosing Celtic imagery is to use ones intuition. Which ever knot you like best is the one for you!
