The universal meaning attached to the spiritual knotwork art of the Celtic culture is the symbol of the endless wheel, unending line or regeneration and the inter-connectedness of life. No recorded history attaches specific meanings to different knotwork styles; however, it is generally agreed that spirals honour the Goddess and reflect themes of consciousness and balance, interlacing knots in the unending cycle of life and death, and key or maze patterns the twists and turns of life's journey. Animal or bird image symbols, known as zoomorphic knots are more straightforward. Hounds or dogs represent loyalty; dragons symbolize rebirth and bird's purity or nobility. The boar represents ferocity or strength. Our best advice when choosing Celtic imagery is to use your intuition. Whichever knot you like best is the one for you!
