This Stamp is another favorite symbol of mine, and yes, my discovery of it came from the WB's "Charmed" many moons ago. Learning its meaning, however, I respected it more than just from a TV show. Triquetra, or Latin for three-cornered, has more than one meaning in religion. "Charmed" used it as the "power of three" when the three Halliwell sisters combined their magic as one. The symbol was found on the cover of their Book of Shadows and their Spirit Board (same as a Ouija Board). One web site had some information on its meaning in different religions:

Christian Symbolism:
The Triquetra represents the Holy Trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The unbroken circle represents eternity. The interwoven nature of the symbol denotes the indivisibility and equality of the Holy Trinity. It symbolizes that the Holy Spirit is three beings of power, honor, and glory but is indivisibly one God.

Pagan/Wiccan/Goddess Symbolism:
The Triquetra represents the threefold nature of the Goddess as virgin, mother and crone. It symbolizes life, death, and rebirth and the three forces of nature: earth, air, and water. The inner three circles represent the female element and fertility.

The symbol has been seen in other formations, even some without the circle, but this has become my favorite out of each style. And I decided if I was going to have some jewelry with the symbol, I should know what it is I'm wearing!

The Triquetra image came from a scan of one of my earrings, a set I found at Anime Next in June, 2005. Amongst the anime souvenirs, someone had a sterling silver jewelry booth and I paid about $8 for the pair. I wear the earrings the most at work since they are small and I also have the same symbol on a ring with an amethyst stone.

And for those who may feel offended, I am not posting this to step on any toes, nor would I bash anyone's beliefs. I learned a little bit of the symbol and I like it, plain and simple. Please favor if you wish to use this Stamp. Thank you!

hm..I wondered about that, I've seen my cousin wear this on a necklace (as far as I know she's Wiccan). I didn't want to offend her by accident my asking, so I was left to wonder...now I know. Thanks!

Thank you! I liked the symbol and figured if I was going to have jewelry of it, I should know its meaning, and it lead me to discover other meanings than just of the Wicca religion! It was rather fascinating! :)

My favorite Charm, meaning more to life or death... It's a strong symbol as well because of the celtic knots.... A cycle that repeats yet never ends...

Yeah, I wanted to study the symbol more so that I know what it is I wear as jewelry. It has a lot of meanings, all positive, so it's a good charm!

Yeah, I've had the triquetra for about 3 years now... Both the earings and now the necklace... ^^ I'm also working on a tattoo for it. So with crossed fingers, I'm hoping to get it done.

I've got a pair of small earrings and the symbol circles an Amethyst ring I wear. Good luck on getting the tattoo, it'll look nice, and feel nice to be permanent! :thumbsup:
