Description
The refracted light through the clouds over the Moon's face created this type of 'dill pickle' shape to the Moon. This made me see the Triquetra within it so perfectly.
The Triquetra:
Triquetra (/traɪˈkwɛtrə/; Latin tri- "three" and quetrus "cornered") originally meant "triangle" and was used to refer to various three-cornered shapes. It has come to refer exclusively to a particular more complicated shape formed of three vesicae piscis, sometimes with an added circle in or around it. Also known as a "trinity knot", the design is used as a religious symbol adapted from ancient Celtic images by Christianity.
Celtic art:
The triquetra is often found in insular art, most notably metal work and in illuminated manuscripts like the Book of Kells. It is also found in similar artwork on Celtic crosses and slabs from the early Christian period. The fact that the triquetra rarely stood alone in medieval Celtic art has cast reasonable doubt on its use as a primary symbol of belief. In manuscripts it is used primarily as a space filler or ornament in much more complex compositions, and in knotwork panels it is a design motif integrated with other design elements. This widely recognized knot has been used as a singular symbol for thousands of years by Celtic Pagans as a sign of the divine sacred. The 3 phases of the Divine Goddess; Maiden, Mother and Crone.
