Altar Tables Lore
The three-cornered trinity knot or triquetra - composed of three interlaced, never-ending, unbroken arcs - symbolises everlasting life, protection, and unity.
- It was used to honour and symbolise the neo-pagan triple goddess - the maiden, mother and crone - and signifies the three life cycles of a woman related to the moon phases. It became a symbol for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in more recent times.
- The Pentacle or pentagram is a five-pointed star polygon upon a disk. A polygon is a flat, two-dimensional shape with straight sides that join and symbolises the earth element in neo-pagan beliefs. They use it in magical evocation.
The ancient Greeks and Babylonians used pentagrams metaphorically, and Christians regularly utilised them to represent the five wounds of Jesus.
