The Sri Yantra [yantra - mystic diagram] consists of 9 interlocking triangles that surround and radiate from the central point (bindu, aka the cosmic center), the junction point between the physical universe and its unmanifest source.
The triangles represent the union of the feminine potencies (4 upwards) and masculine potencies (5 downwards), as well as the totality of the cosmos.
The Triskele symbol, otherwise known as the Triskelion/Triskal, is a trilateral symbol consisting of three interlocked spirals. Widely regarded as one of the oldest Irish symbols in existence, it appears on the Newgrange kerbstones, which date from approximately 3200 BC. Triskeles feature prominently in both ancient and modern Celtic art, as they evoke the Celtic interpretation of the three realms of material existence: earth, water, and sky (and all their interconnections). The symbol is also thought to represent the three worlds: spiritual, physical, and celestial.
Other Trinity connections associated with the triskele are life-death-rebirth, past-present-future, earth-water-sky, and creation-protection-destruction. Each one deals with some aspect of personal growth, human development, and spiritual progress. One theory posits that the triskele represents reincarnation, as it consists of one continuous line that could be analogous to the unbroken movement of time. In this context, it represents the process of constantly moving forward to reach a state of understanding and enlightenment. Another theory states that at the Newgrange monument, the triskele is meant to symbolize pregnancy.
This particular Triskal was designed by Jiva Carter.
