Triskelion | Triskele Symbolism - The triskelion (also referred to as triskele, triskel, triquetra or fylfot) is a motif consisting of three interlocked spirals, or three bent human legs, or any similar symbol with three protrusions and a threefold rotational symmetry. The triple spiral motif is a Neolithic symbol in Western Europe. It is considered a Celtic symbol but is in fact a pre-Celtic symbol. Because of its historic Celtic associations, it is also used as a symbol of Brittany. In a nutshell, the triskelion Celtic symbol meaning deals with competition and man's progress. The Greek term triskelion literally means 'three-legged', and appropriately, this sign looks very much like three legs running.
