Taken
from the pages of the Book of Kells (Circa 825) AD. This loveknot
pattern is a known as a Wheel of Life because it is symmetrical both
vertically and horizontally. It represents heaven on earth, the four
directions; seasons and elements. The continuous loveknot which makes up
the pattern is symbolic of the dance of life, stepping left and right.
Interestingly, the Wheel pattern of a cross in a circle is found in
every culture and represents the sun or a heavenly body. In Celtic
designs it is know as a Celtic Cross. The Book of Kells is an
illuminated Bible which incorporated ancient Celtic Symbols into the
texts artwork.
