The meaning of the multi-personal amulet Triskelion (Trixel, Trefot)

History of the Triskelion sign

The word triskelion (or Triskele) comes from the Greek τρισκελης, "Triskeles" meaning "three legs". This symbol is usually given a Celtic origin, but this is actually only partially correct. While it is true that people used it frequently during the second Iron Age, called the Tene (Ve - 2nd century BC), the triskelion has been represented since the Neolithic period, for example at the Newgrange tomb, which dates back to around 3200 BC. The triskele symbol appears in engravings more than 2,500 years before the Celts arrived in Ireland.

Theories of the origin of the symbol

The symbol “trixelion”, the meaning of which does not have a single clear definition, has introduced its own intrigue into the history of world culture. Until now, historians do not have a common opinion about who was the first to immortalize the tripod in world culture: the Greeks or the inhabitants of the distant island of Man, located between Britain and Ireland.

Greek theory

According to supporters of the Greek theory, it was with the light hand of Greek travelers who were the first to explore the island of Sicily at the beginning of the 8th century BC. and they called it Trinacria (trinacrios), that is, triangular, and the symbol appeared. The triskelion received its significance, as well as its name, from the number of mountain peaks that marked the borders of the island from the south, east and west: Cape Pakhin, Cape Pelor, Cape Lilybey. The sign, invented by the Greeks, was called the Sicilian triskele. In subsequent centuries, the peoples inhabiting Crete and Macedonia, Celtic and Etruscan tribes adopted this sign and introduced it into their culture.

The Greek triskelion was chosen as the basis for the flag of the land of Sicily. It has an image of legs bent at the knees running from one point with a woman's head in the center.

An interesting fact is that initially the center of the connection of the three legs was the head of the Gorgon Medusa with hair stylized as three snakes, reminding us of deceit, wisdom and betrayal. We are talking about one of the most terrible monsters with the face of a woman, whose gaze turned a person into stone, and he was beheaded by the hero of ancient Greek mythology, Perseus.

In 2000, the flag was changed and in its modern image, instead of the terrible head of Medusa the Gorgon, the center of the triskel adorns the face of the goddess of fertility with ears of wheat instead of hair. Modern residents of the island no longer associate the female face on their flag with the terrible Gorgon. And the symbol “triskelion” takes on a completely different meaning.

Viking theory

Supporters of the second version claim that the symbol was invented in the Irish Sea by the inhabitants of the Isle of Man around the 5th-6th centuries. BC, who at that time were citizens of one of the most ancient states of the era - the Vikings. The triskelion symbol adorns the flag of the Isle of Man to this day and was last modified in the 13th century.

The intrigue lies in the fact that the signs of the southern and northern lands, between which lie thousands of kilometers of water and land, are surprisingly similar to each other. There is a possibility that the symbol has much more ancient roots and where it actually originated remains to be discovered by new generations of scientists. And it is possible that the number of versions of the origin of the symbol will increase. As well as, perhaps, in connection with this, new theories will appear that reveal the meaning. Triskelion continues to amaze.

Symbol options

Despite the fact that the Triskelion has the same structure, many peoples of the world depicted it slightly differently. There are 3 most common variants of the image of this symbol.

1. A very common form of ancient amulet was 3 branches that twisted into a spiral. Sometimes leaves and fruits were drawn on the lines.
2. There are often cases of images of three legs: an animal or a person.
3. There were images of heads - a dragon or a lion.

Regardless of the details of the amulet, Trixel always has only 3 branches.

The name of this symbol was given by the ancient Greeks. Its translation means the word “tripod”. There is evidence that Triskelion appeared long before the Greeks. Its first schematic images date back to the Neolithic period.

Triskelion meaning

For the Celts in ancient times, the triskelion symbol had a sacred meaning; it was used to cast pagan spells and magical rituals. The sign was used as a talisman that ensured balance in the natural world, independent stability, which was not influenced by any of the elements. The Celts painted triskelions on household items, dishes, clothes, and walls of the home.

The Vikings depicted the symbol a little differently than the Celts and used it to indicate the will of Odin and the power of the gods. The Norman sign personified the trinity of soul, spirit and body. Thanks to the Vikings, the sign became widespread; it was invested with the meaning of the unification of higher powers, the cyclical nature of existence, and the infinity of the universe.

In Slavic mythology, triskele was associated with the influence of the energies of life and death on human existence. The sign was used as a talisman, saving from sudden, accidental death, various everyday misfortunes and diseases. The northern peoples of Rus' drew the symbol with broken lines.

Three rays coming from a single center were associated with the sun's rays, which can show the right path or give a hint in solving life's problems. The Slavs described the symbol as the unity of three worlds - Rule, Reveal and Navi. The sign was closed, not depicted clearly and in plain sight, and therefore was very rarely encountered during excavations.

In Buddhism, the triskelion was depicted as a wheel, where each part symbolized a certain concept.

The hub represents the rules of etiquette, the rim represents the science of meditation, and the spokes represent acquired wisdom in life. The sign was used as a way to predict the future; people tried to look ahead, predict possible events and prepare for them. The monks used the symbol to perform meditative techniques to fill the soul and body with balance and spiritual strength.

In medieval Europe, the triskelion was actively used in heraldry. The sign was found on the flags of European provinces and the coats of arms of famous noble families. The symbol today adorns the flag of Sicily and the Isle of Man, with the rays depicted as three running legs, representing the continuous passage of time. On the banner of Ingushetia, the red triskelion stands out brightly against a white background. The sign is found in the emblems of the US Department of Transport, some football clubs and in the badges of Irish Air Force officers.

Symbolic number 3

The symbolism of the triskelion leads us to the fact that we are dealing with the number 3. Indeed, the three has a special symbolism. Number 3, first of all, is a symbol of the trinity . It is often associated with a child, the fruit of a union between a man and a woman (1 + 2 = 3). It represents culmination, replenishment and balance of forces.

In a broader sense, the number 3 is found in the number of elements, as we saw in the symbolism of the triskelion: three spatial dimensions (height, length, width) or three dimensions of time (past, present, future; childhood, maturity, old age).

Number 3 is also associated with the three
worlds (spiritual, intellectual, emotional), the three phases of the Moon and the three kingdoms (animal, plant, mineral).
In Christianity , one God is represented by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 3 is the number of theological virtues (faith, hope and charity).

For Buddhists, there are three characteristics of existence (impersonality, impermanence and dissatisfaction) and three “poisons” (greed, ignorance, anger). Buddhism also has its expression completed in the Triple Gem: Buddha, Dharma, Sangha.

Taoists believe that the number 3 is ideal. Three is generally accepted as a fundamental number. It expresses the intellectual and spiritual order in God in the cosmos and in man.

In Buddhism

In order for a person to establish a connection with the amulet, a hub must be depicted on it.
The Buddhist trixel, which differs in many respects in its homeland, is of enormous importance for the people. It is represented in the wheel of Dharma, namely in its 3 components: spokes, rim, hub. The last is the necessary rules of concentration for the interaction of the mind with the artifact. Behind the spokes lies the ignorance-piercing wisdom, and the rim is the basics of meditation that Buddhists resort to during practice.

Among the Celtic peoples

Through the trixelion, the Celts achieved harmony with nature and performed magical rituals and ceremonies. The talisman for them is a source of energy and serenity, vitality. By applying the symbol to household items, clothing, leather and weapons, the Celts sought to give them magical properties and contact higher powers, gaining grace. Self-sufficiency and independence lay in the symmetry of the triskeleon structure, which also inspired the people. The Celts saw in the spirals of the symbol the cyclical nature of the universe, personifying the sunset, sunrise and zenith of the sun.

Trixel among the Scandinavians

In ancient times, sages and seers applied this symbol to their bodies; this was only allowed for people in adulthood

In Norman culture, the sign was depicted differently and differed from the Celtic “source”. He was identified with Odin. The amulet symbolized the trinity of different spheres of existence:

• divine - in Viking mythology there are three main gods: Odin, Thor and Loki;
• earthly - the unity of the Soul, Body and Spirit of man.

Interesting fact: thanks to the Vikings and their wanderings, the triskele became so widespread in the world.

Slavs

• Among the Slavs, they were taught by the sorcerers, and among “mere mortals” amulets gained the reputation of being powerful and dangerous - that’s why they were always kept in a hidden place.

Our ancestors had their own opinion about the meaning of the Celtic triskele. “Tripod” denoted the balance of three worlds: people (Yav), the dead (Nav) and deities (Prav). The indissolubility of individual elements of the pattern symbolized the strength of the Family. In an extraordinary situation, such a talisman called for help from all those “close by blood,” including the souls of ancestors.

Meaning of Triskelion in different cultures and religions

The Triskelion sign gained particular popularity and respect among the Celts, who thus balanced the connection between man and nature and plants. Thanks to the talisman, throughout their lives the Celts were enveloped in calm, bliss and vitality did not leave. The symmetry of the vortices on the medallion emphasizes self-sufficiency, resilience and independence of a person from difficult circumstances. The image reliably protected the owner of the talisman and decorated his home.

One of the Celtic interpretations was an amulet that was attributed to the god Odin. The Trinity is celebrated in everything, starting with the celestial beings and spirits, ending with the world of people.

The Slavs deeply believed in the unusual meaning of the Triskelion, claiming that God himself guides its owner along the karmic path. The swirls outlined on the surface of the bronze medallion reminded the ancient Slavs of running legs, which, when moving, formed the bends of the knees. Only a healthy person could afford to move at high speed, tirelessly striving for something new and not abandoning the idea of ​​developing even in difficult life situations. Therefore, it was believed that the sign saved from death, tragedies, and supported a person in overcoming serious illnesses.

The Slavs also had a sacred attitude towards the ancestors and living representatives of their clan, therefore the second interpretation of the bronze Triskelion, the photo of which you see above, came down to the central image of the deity Rod, from which the Triglavs emanated in the form of rays. The symbol is not welcomed by the church; in 1642, the Pope issued a decree, the text of which prohibited the use of an image mentioning the great holy holiday of the Trinity. Gradually, the triple sign of the whirlwind was classified as paganism and heresy.

Modern use of the symbol

The Isle of Man and Sicily are far away, but the Republic of Ingushetia is much closer, but it also placed a stylized sign on its banner. The author of the flag, which was approved in 1994, was academician Dakhkilgov Ibragim Abdurakhmanovich. The salt sign or sun sign is depicted on the flag with three rays rounded at the ends counterclockwise. It is in this direction that the Earth rotates around the Sun and the Sun rotates around its axis. According to the people of Ingushetia, triskele will protect them from troubles and ensure well-being and prosperity.

We see the image of a triskelion around us in modern life. Fans of the Austrian football club First and the French Guingamp, in order to attract good luck and ensure a victorious game on the field for their participants, placed images of the sign on the team flags. Only at FC First - in the image of three running legs in football equipment from - in the image of the mathematical formula of the spirals of Archimedes of Syracuse.

Or, for example, the flag of the US Department of Transportation is nothing more than the same stylized salt sign.

You can also see the principle of “three-leggedness” in the famous automobile brand “Mercedes”. Isn’t this fact the secret of the popularity of cars of a famous brand?

What is the meaning across cultures?

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the triskele in the life of ancient man. This sign was iconic among:

• Celts;
• Scandinavians;
• Buddhists;
• Slavs and many other peoples.

And although the cultural characteristics and religious beliefs of everyone were different, the amulet had a similar meaning everywhere.

Celtic culture

The triskele gained the greatest popularity in Celtic culture. The Celts used it in pagan rituals and wore it in everyday life. Triskel was considered a powerful talisman that helps its owner awaken energy, gain protection, and find peace. He also helped to establish a connection with the forces of nature and make friends with the elements.

The Celts believed that the symmetry and harmony of the triskele spirals symbolizes an independent and self-sufficient nature. Various versions of the triskele design were present on a wide variety of things and objects, and not always as a reliable amulet, but also as decoration.

The Scandinavian version of the triskelion has a slightly different appearance than that of the Celts. The inhabitants of Scandinavia called the sign Triskele Odin. And if the symbol spread throughout ancient Europe thanks to the Macedonians, then it was spread throughout the rest of the world by Viking sailors.

Buddhism

In the Buddhist worldview, the triskelion means the wheel of the Drachma. The number of spokes in the wheel can vary from 5 to 8, and the triskele sign is located in the center. For Buddhists, this attribute personifies a complex system in which each element represents a separate aspect of the teaching:

• The hub symbolizes ethical standards, without which it is impossible to concentrate, concentrate attention and reach mutual agreement.
• The rim helps to find peace, tranquility, and balance and signifies meditation.
• The spokes represent wisdom, which is always higher than ignorance.

Among the Slavs

In the Slavic tradition, the triskelion symbol was usually depicted using broken lines. This symbol meant the choice and search for the true path in life, indicated by the gods, and life personified the cycle of events. The Slavs believed that the central part of the amulet embodied the supreme deity of the Family, and the rays acted as the divine Triglavs.

Important! In archaeological expeditions, scientists almost never discovered amulets with this sign, which may mean the closed nature and hidden nature of the meaning of the symbol in Slavic magic.

The Slavs considered the triskelion to be a kind of guide, an assistant in finding the life path and goals intended by the gods for each person. Everyone living in Yavi must find and go through their own path and come to the Family. In this regard, it is interesting that the broken lines represent human legs, given that people walk through life blindly, losing their way and making mistakes.

Triskel was also a symbol of energy for the Slavs; it was used as a talisman that protected people from troubles and dangers.

In modern world

Currently, the triskele is very popular as a tattoo design. It can also be found on various informal decorations.
Sometimes present on football flags, for example, of the Austrian club First and the French Guingamp. Football players are sure that this symbol helps them win matches. The sign is found on coats of arms, and is also still used in magical rituals to program the future or fulfill wishes.

A triangular pattern, stylized as a trixel, is a symbol of the modern organization “African Resistance Movement”. In addition, the triskelion appears on the flag of the Republic of Ignushetia , which was approved in 1994, and the banner of the United States Department of Transportation.

Reference! The triskelion is still a symbol of the island of Sicily, where, according to one legend, it originates.

Magic properties

It must be said that the triskelion has a mysterious meaning, because it contains a magical component in which ancient peoples believed.

It is easy to see that the basis of the picture and its symbolism is the number three. The magic of this figure is reflected in subsequent religions that replaced paganism. In the Christian canons, the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit is nothing more than echoes of a pagan symbol. Medieval Europe widely used the symbol of the sun in the coats of arms not only of the nobility, but perpetuated this symbol on the flags of entire localities.

Who are the Celtic Triskel amulets suitable for?

The triskele contains a huge charge of magical energy, so it should be used very carefully during special rituals.

• With the help of a “tripod”, the Druids could see the past and the future at the same time, and, if necessary, even change them.
• Modern magicians use the symbol to achieve maximum effectiveness of their rituals and to bring the moment of fulfillment closer.

As an amulet

As an amulet, the Celtic symbol triskele works much more softly:

• Helps to reveal innate but undeveloped talents, makes a person more insightful, wise, balanced.
• At the same time, the “tripod” acts as a “trap” for someone else’s witchcraft - any magical effect is automatically neutralized if the owner of the talisman is under the protection of the triskele.

An amulet is not used from time to time, it is a symbol to which one entrusts one’s life once and for all.

Tattoos with a three-ray spiral have become very popular - they were done even at the dawn of civilization. Usually the sacred pattern is applied to the back of the neck, in the area of ​​the shoulder blades or on the wrist.

• There are no gender restrictions, but such a talisman is not suitable for young people. Triskel as a talisman is recommended only for an adult with sufficient life experience.

Who shouldn't wear it?

People who are tormented by a complete lack of faith in themselves, their abilities and goals. The triskelion will not find a foothold and will not be able to help the owner if he himself is confused in his desires and aspirations. Unconcentrated energy will be scattered, the talisman will not catch it, and, accordingly, will not send it in the right direction. It is important to remember that when wearing an artifact of this kind, it is necessary to wisely manage its power and not waste its potential in vain.

Illustration

The general principle of the triskelion image is three curved lines with a common point in the center. They can resemble running legs, spirals, or even the heads of an animal. Gradually, the style of the sign changed and began to take on various forms. It is worth noting here that few people know what the meaning of the triskelion is. The symbol, the culture in which the sign is used, its material expression - all this is very interesting, and icons do not remain static, but are embodied in new forms.

Thus, amulets were decorated with ornate patterns in the form of fancy curved lines. They could contain cosmogonic and zoomorphic elements or, on the contrary, acquire clear geometric features.

However, there is a general pattern in applying a triskelion - the pattern of the symbol must be symmetrical and carry a powerful energy charge. If an object with a pattern applied to it is spun clockwise, you can see a kind of “movie” in which the cycle of movements will be repeated.

What does the Triskelion amulet look like?

The Triskelion symbol means the power of the sun, or rather its 3 phases - sunrise, zenith and sunset. After some time, he also acquired the meaning of the elements - water, air and fire. The symbol itself looks like 3 curved lines connected in one place in the center. The lines can have different shapes - legs or even the shape of animals. Triskelion can be identified by one pattern - all the patterns are symmetrical. If you twist the amulet clockwise, you will get a cycle that can put a person into a state of hypnosis.

This is what the Triskelion sign looks like.
