Title: The Triple Spiral
Inspiration for The Triple Spiral • by Graphic Artist Barbara Damoli
The inspiration for this art graphic, was The Triple Spiral or Triskele, a fascinating, Pre-Christian, Celtic and possibly Pre-Celtic symbol.
The meaning of this symbol has not been established, but there are different interpretations.
In the Celtic culture, before Christianity, it could have meant, “Land, Sea and Sky”, or “Past, Present and Future”.
However, as Christianity came into the forefront in Ireland before the 5th century AD, The Triple Spiral took on new meaning, as a Christian symbol of the Trinity.
Since The Triple Spiral is such a fascination symbol, it seemed appropriate to make a reference to that:

The Cross
The art graphics The Cross and The Sun, have been developed at the same time and parallel to eachother. The thought behind these graphic works, was the change, the transition from paganism to Christianity, in Europe. Sun worship was a very central part, of many European pagan religions and the Sun was represented in many ways, in pagan religious art. These graphics underline this transition, which made Europe The Nation of the Cross.
Talking about this subject, it seemed appropriate to make a reference to art works, which represent the Sun and the Cross, in European Art History.
A very impressive example of ancient Pagan Art, representing the Sun is “The Trundholm Sun Chariot”, or Solvognen, in Danish. It is exhibited at The National Museum of Denmark (Nationalmuseet)

The Knight Templar
The inspiration for this graphic was obviously the story and mith, of The Knight Templar. The Templars were also known as The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon.
The Knight Templars was a Christian military order, recognised by the Pope Innocent II, in 1139. The order was active until 1312.
History says the Knights Templar’s purpose was to protect travelers, who travelled to Jerusalem.
In the middle ages, pilgrims were westerners, who had been guaranteed their safety, in the city and templars protected them through their journay. In addition to protection of the pilgrims, Templars also defended the Christian kingdom of Jerusalem and other holy sites.
The Knights Templars were a secret society whose true purpose remains very debated, among scholars and historians to this day.
One of the miths/legends around the order, tells that, when the Knights arrived to The Holy Land, they discovered secret parts of Christianity’s history/origines, which they could not reveal, in their time. Therefore they created the Tarot Cards, in which they communicated their secret knowledge, in the symbols, which we can still see on the cards today.
