Clockwise from top left: uraeus, Tau cross, triquetra in a circle, yin/yang, triskele

Triquetra: From the Latin meaning “triangle.” In Paganism, it is a Celtic symbol of the Triple Goddess and the god Odin. Associated with the magical aspect of the number three, it represents the three phases of the Goddess (Maiden, Mother, Crone), whereas in Christianity it symbolizes the Holy Trinity. Use this unique design to attune to the power of three—the Goddess, the trinities of ancient Egypt (Amun, Mut, Khonsu or Isis, Osiris, Horus) or of the Christian faith (Father, Son, Holy Spirit).

Triskele or Triskelion: Meaning “three-legged” in Greek, the triskele is a shape made by three interlocked protrusions such as spirals, legs, or horns. It is believed to be an ancient Neolithic symbol representing the power of life and rebirth. In Wicca, like the triquetras (see above), it symbolizes the phases of the Triple Goddess and other triplicities; in Christianity, it represents the Trinity. The horned triskelion, or Odin’s Horn, is used by followers of the Norse Asatru religion. Use the design for connection with the ancient powers of the trinities and for celebrations of life and the promise of rebirth.

Uraeus (see also Serpent): The sacred upright cobra placed on the crown of an Egyptian pharaoh or depicted on a god or goddess as a sign of royalty or divine authority. The cobra was also representative of the goddess Wadjet (who protected the pharaoh), symbolic of the pharaoh’s enlightened spiritual state as a Divine One on earth. Use for achieving spiritual progress and enlightenment and for divine protection.

Web: A symbol that embodies our creative or personal progress in life and the far-reaching consequences of our actions. The symbol of the web makes us think about how we should weave our own destiny, to serve us or trap us. Use this motif whenever you need to contemplate your place in the universe and to give you inspiration and insight into how to apply changes or new directions.

Wishbone: A symbol of good luck and to make wishes and dreams come true.

Yin/Yang: A Chinese symbol representing the two opposing forces in conjunction; also dualities—male and female, dark and light, high and low. Use the symbol to create balance, interconnectedness, and constant interaction, and to highlight the continual link between natural opposites.
