About Celtic Art
Celtic art had three capital functions: decoration, religious symbolism, and depictions of stories. For the a lot of allotment it is absolutely adornment and art for the account of beauty. I now accept that, area acceptation can be assigned, a lot of of the old apologue attributed to Celtic knots either has been absent or is a after development. There is no absolute ancient ascendancy (like the Bible) on the meaning of any of the thousands of designs.

tion of as spirals with beeline lines. Constructed on a askew grid, the paths angle aback aloft themselves at assorted angles, basic the baby triangles of dark background which accord key patterns their characteristic look.

Meaning Of A Celtic Cat
From the Egyptians to Romans, and from Romans to Celts came the transference of the symbolism of cats. Unanimously, the cat represents the guardian of the Otherworld (or Underworld, depending which texts you apprehend from assorted regions). Stoic, bashful and mysterious, cats fit the bill of Otherworld guardians absolutely well. They keep the secrets of the Otherworld always to themselves, as the gaze with guile upon a world that does not see or accept the depth of their knowledge.
