Every day we looked forward to a certain time to find out what happened to the main characters. There were undoubtedly a lot of cult TV series at that time. And if you make a list of them, it will be extremely large. But there are TV series so popular that their names have already become household names. "Charmed" is one of those. It was very popular among teenagers and young people, even despite such a theme, most guys were crazy about crazy witches. The series was launched in 1998, and until 2009 everyone’s favorite STS had the rights.
History of the origin of Triquetra
Historians claim that the symbol appeared in Northern Europe in the 4th-6th centuries. AD It was used by the Celts, Scandinavians, Germans and probably even the Slavs, to whom it appeared in the early Middle Ages. It is with the ancient Celts that modern people associate it. This is not without reason - the sign is often found on Celtic crosses, symbolizing the triad.
Other finds indicate that the symbol is much older than commonly believed. Researchers suggest that during the Bronze Age (XXXV/XXXIII - XIII/XI centuries BC), the Triquetra was used as a sign of the movement of the Sun. He personified his three main positions - at dawn, at noon and at sunset.

Celtic Triquetra - interesting facts
The most famous image of the symbol is the Celtic Triquetra. It symbolizes the phases of human life and the cyclical nature of the universe. Three is a sacred number that is found among many peoples in one form or another, and the Celts are no exception. A developed scientific system of understanding the structure of the universe is contained in many historical testimonies and chronicles. Perhaps the Triquetra symbol also has a direct connection with this. The Celts could depict a symbol of the trinity of human aspects - soul, mind and body.
In V. Molokhov’s book “The Secret Knowledge of the Druids,” the author identified a huge number of Celtic triads, here are some of them:
- Three types of love: love of the heart, love of the mind and love of the soul;
- Three signs of a person: stability, modesty and moderation;
- Three signs of beautiful speech: stability, wisdom and brevity;
- Three signs of wisdom: patience, solitude and the gift of prophecy.
And this is only a small part of the triads identified by Molokhov from the life of the ancient Celts. Based on this, we can say with confidence that the number three played a significant role in their lives, which means that the Triquetra symbol was composed this way not by chance and has a deep sacred meaning.
Some historians believe that the amulet was created by Manannan, the lord of the seas in Irish mythology. Others explain that the Triquetra is inextricably linked with the famous Thor, since the symbol was often depicted in images of God.
Origin of the sign
During archaeological excavations, images of Triquetra were found on pots and household tools made back in the Bronze Age. There is no single version of the origin and the exact country of origin. Findings suggest that the magic symbol was used in Scandinavia and England to count the lunar phases, in Norway it was applied to coins, and in Kievan Rus it was drawn on objects of art or pots.
Presumably, the Slavs painted the sign to protect their home, protect their family from harm and strengthen relationships. During the period of Christianization, the magical symbol began to personify the Trinity. In the early period, 3 intertwined fish were drawn to depict a sign in Orthodoxy, and therefore they called the Triquetra “Fish Bladder”. Then the name changed to a more euphonious one - “Fish of Yeshua”.
What does the mascot look like?
From Latin, Triquetra can be translated as “having three angles,” and in a sense it is a triangle. However, the presence of three angles does not make it a simple geometric figure. The symbol is depicted as an interlacing of slightly curved lines, reminiscent of interconnected leaves. A circle woven into these “petals” is also often added to the image.
There are four types of symbol:
- Classic or simple is the most popular form of Triquetra. It consists of three petals intertwined with each other. Sometimes in the image there is a circle that encircles the symbol;
Simple Triquetra
- The second type is found as a component of a Christian decorative sign, which symbolizes the Holy Trinity ;
Symbolizes the Holy Trinity
- Deaf, without gaps , the Triquetra forms a closed figure from a single, intertwined thick line;
Deaf Triquetra
- The double look is similar to the classic one, but instead of one line, it is made up of two.

To make an effective talisman, you need to follow the following step-by-step instructions:
For such a thing, you can take a ready-made light bag and fill it with the necessary contents.
- A bag is made from a piece of light fabric and tied at the bottom with scarlet wool thread. You can use a ready-made “vessel”.
- Any variation of the Triquetra is drawn with a marker, the main thing is maintaining the proportions and depicting 3 rays.

The meaning of the Triquetra symbol
The possible meaning of the symbol has already been said, but is it limited to this? Nature and the universe are created harmonious and balanced. Around the world, archaeologists are finding various evidence that ancient people knew quite a lot about the structure of the universe. Despite the fact that official science claims that the current civilization is the most developed, the evidence, so stubbornly ignored by a huge number of scientists, still insists that we are not the first developed people on Earth. Fortunately, more and more scientists and researchers are taking the side of truth.
What does the meaning of the Triquetra symbol have to do with it? Turning to historical sources, one can understand that the same Celts were very conscious of various symbols, and each had a sacred meaning. Symbols were never used just like that, and only the most primitive forms acted as decorations. But can the Triquetra form be called primitive? It is simple, but not primitive at all. Probably, its creators tried to put meaning into this simplicity. Of course, it is very difficult to talk about the creators of the symbol, because it is found in various nations.
Ancient image of Triquetra
One thing can be said for sure - this sign symbolizes the trinity of various aspects of the universe. Some have already been mentioned above. We can take an example of such trinity from the other side of the world.
In ancient Vedic scriptures, God was described as having three aspects:
- Paramatma , that is, present in every particle, atom and every living being;
- Brahman is the impersonal form of God, what we call the universe.
- Bhagavan is the highest and most difficult to comprehend hypostasis - the personality of God.
This is further proof that the number three has a deep, magical meaning. Based on this, we can say that Triquetra symbolizes some deep mechanisms of creation.
The meaning and significance of the Triquetra sign
In Scandinavian countries, the magical symbol is associated with the powerful Thor, who commands lightning and thunder. To enhance the effect of the amulet, help is asked from God and then an offering is made - alcohol, meat and fruit.
The magic sign, which has long been used in European countries and Kievan Rus, represents the movement of the daylight across the sky: one petal indicates sunrise, the second - noon, and the third - sunset. The symbol also shows all the phases of life that a person experiences from birth to death, but since the rays of the Triquetra go in a circle, its meaning speaks of immortality and constant rebirth. The endless cycle of esotericism is compared to ideal universal harmony. A powerful sign is applied to amulets for the following purposes:
If a magical attack is made on a person, then the symbol is able to protect him from it.
- protection from otherworldly entities and the evil eye;
- harmonization of all spheres of life;
- absorption of negative emotions;
- improved mood;
- increased concentration;
- health promotion;
- increased self-esteem;
- shield against magical attacks.
Who can wear it and how to use it
It is difficult to talk about the subtle influence of a symbol on a person; this is a rather unexplored topic. This is due to the unique characteristics of each living creature, which means that what suits one will not suit another. How to deal with this? Be guided by the opinions of authoritative people in this field, or check on your own personal experience.
There have been no recorded cases of anyone dying from wearing the sign or of it causing any obvious problems, which means you can’t be afraid to try it out. The effects of symbols are usually so subtle that they cannot simply be picked up and noticed by an untrained person. However, if you wish, you can devote your time and energy to this. To understand the meaning of the Triquetra sign, it is also necessary to resort to personal experience.
A little about the series
While the first season featured multiple elements of the horror film genre, subsequent seasons established the series as a fantasy drama with comedy elements. Also, until the middle of the 7th season, each episode had a specific ending with the beginning of individual themes; in the following episodes, the theme of the series lasted throughout the season and the denouement came only in the last episodes of the season. For example, the theme of season 7 is Avatars and the battle with Zanku. The first half of season 8 is devoted to the “new” life of the sisters, and the second half is devoted to the attempt to destroy Billy and Christy.
The series “Charmed” became a very successful project; as many as 8 seasons were filmed. Prior to the release of Smallville, it held the record for the highest debut ratings on The WB, with 7.70 million viewers on its premiere. At the same time, the rating of the last episode of the last season amounted to 4.49 million viewers.
The meaning of the Triquetra tattoo
With Triquetra in the form of a tattoo, the situation is a little different. If the amulet can always be removed if you feel that it does not bring anything good, then the tattoo will have to be removed, and this is not an easy matter. Therefore, it is recommended to apply a sign on the body only in two cases - either you are one hundred percent sure that it will have a beneficial effect on you and your life, or if it does not carry any sacred meaning for you. Moreover, the second option does not cancel the impact, if any. You can find out this only through your own personal experience.
