Morholt:
Gigantic brother of the King of Ireland to whom
King Mark and Cornwall were expected to pay an annual tribute. Mark's
nephew Tristan sailed
to Ireland to kill Morholt to end this. He succeeded, but not before
Morholt wounded him with his great poisoned sword. Before he died, Morholt
told him that only his sister Iseult
would be able to cure his poisoned wound.
Trinity - triskel or love-knot:
The 'trinity' design on the dial is one of the
basic Celtic designs.
The circles represent the three domains of ancient Celtic belief: the
underworld for the past, the earth world for the present, and the sky
world for the divine.
