A triquetra is an ancient symbol that consists of three overlapping and interconnected arcs, sometimes known as a Vesica Pisces shape, that creates a tri-pointed symbol. Essentially, the symbol resembles a three-cornered knot, as all internal arcs look as though there is no beginning or end. The name itself translates to ''three-cornered,'' but the meaning runs far deeper, dating back to pre-Celtic origins. However, the concept of three, also known as the power of three which is embedded in the name, is the most important aspect of the ancient symbol.

While the symbol is the same in various cultures, the meaning shifts. Since there is little written evidence surrounding pre-Celtic and Celtic life, scholars can only speculate regarding Pagan tradition. However, from corroborating various references, they know the concept of three was a linchpin of divine belief, signifying the Triple Moon Goddess which encompasses the maiden, the mother and the crone and connects to feminine fertility.

The Maiden: represents a young girl symbolizing youth, pleasure, innocence, and new beginnings

The Mother: represents love, fertility, and maturity symbolizing the middle of a woman's life as she cares for others

The Crone: represents the facets of the other stages but focuses on the wisdom learned from a long life

Together, the three females represent the life cycle, touching upon the innocence of a girl's early life, the maturity as one ages, and the wisdom one gains throughout one's existence.
