Masonic & Occult Symbols Illustrate

As mentioned earlier, the triskele (or triskelion) is one symbol that appears in many logos today. Although many people would probably not recognize the name “triskele,” they certainly would recognize a picture of this symbol. “The triskelion (Greek for three legs) is a symbol of the sun intended to express motion. A similar device, with four legs, called a tetraskelion, is a modification of the swastika.” Like the swastika, it is considered to be a good luck symbol.

An occult organization sells a triskelion and serpent pendant. They brag: “Double magic! Designs on both side (sic) of this unusually attractive pendant. One side bears the three-legged triskeles symbolizing rising, zenith, setting. On the other [side the] serpent portrays strength, divine power, infinite wisdom, eternity.” Another catalog tells us that the “legs’ represent birth, death, and rebirth.” Of course, this is a reference to REINCARNATION. We must remember that since the triskele is “a Celtic version of the Yin-Yang symbol of life,” and a modification of the swastika, that what has been said previously about the yin/yang and the swastika (to be covered later) applies to this symbol as well. A New Age organization sells a Celtic Goddess Pin. It is described like this: “Symbols of the triskele (the sea, good luck) and cauldron (abundance, inspiration) celebrate Cerridwen: Celtic goddess of transformation, who offers guidance and spiritual renewal at crucial junctures in the lives of her devotees. In Welsh mythology, she guarded the cauldron of inspiration and was the muse of the bards.” [Emphasis in the original]
