| The True Meaning of Celtic Symbols in Jewelry - 2 |
Page 2 of 2
Historians and scholars must be concerned with hard facts such as timelines and origins, but there seems to be very little to go on in that regard concerning the definitive original meanings of many of the Celtic symbols. As an artist and appreciator of Celtic jewelry and other forms of Celtic art, I would suggest that we have much more leeway than the academics. What interests us are the creative and emotional results of these designs. What is important to us is how they allow us to express our individuality, and how we feel when we wear them. A great part of the mystique surrounding Celtic symbols is the belief that each shape in the designs holds a secret significance just waiting to be revealed. And that the right interpretation of the right manuscript may come along and, once and for all, unlock all the mysteries. Until that time, I suggest that perhaps the true meanings of Celtic symbols in jewelry are those we hold dear in our hearts and minds, right now in the present. And that through an evolving process of consensus (and most likely effective marketing), in the distant future, the meaning of Celtic jewelry symbols will be much more defined.
