Origin of some celtic designs

Before fighting, Celtic warriors used to paint their body with spirals and ferocious animals. Spirals were used to ward off evil especially grouped by three, triskele. It could represent the three elements: fire, water, soul, body and spirit.

Interlaced figures representing animals or human were used to decorate gospels.

A legend says that a townsman of Claddagh was kidnapped to slavery. He fought and escaped, went back to Claddagh to give a ring to his love. The ring is also a token of loyalty and friendship.

Celtic hounds were dogs well respected by royalty and warriors. They were given as gifts to men of honour and many warriors and chiefs took the name as a title to show their loyalty and courage.
