Celtic Neopaganism

Celtic Neopaganism is one of the most popular Neopagan traditions. Even tho it's not my absolute favorite, it's one of them and I can appreciate a lot about Celtic culture. The Celtic strain usually includes more Druid traditions and gives us the "Wheel of the Year" model for our Sabbats as well as most of the symbols in Neopaganism, such as:

The Triquetra. For anyone who is Christian, you may recognize this on the first page of the NIV Bible. As you already know, or will soon learn, Christianity tends to borrow a lot from Paganism, including the concept of the Trinity. The Neopagan trinity represents the Goddess in three forms: The Maiden, The Mother and The Crone.

There is also the Triskelion, which is the same Threefold symbol as the Triquetra. Three is a powerful number in the Neopagan tradition and you will soon learn more about it. ;)

Believe it or not, the cross is also a Pagan symbol. (Although, I don't really see why that needs to be explained.) In the Celtic tradition, the cross represents the four cardinal directions of North, East, South and West. (I like to put North first. :) I will always put North first. And soon, you will understand why.)

And of course, there are Celtic knots, which symbolize eternity and the interconnectedness of everything in the universe.

The Celtic strain of Paganism forms a lot of the basic backbone of the Neopaganism which is practiced today. But, as it stands, it is only one facet of our religion. No single strain of Neopaganism is superior to any other and they all have something unique and beneficial to bring to the diverse table of our religion. :)
