Lagore:
This ancient Celtic spiral pattern was found on an enamelled bronze
disc from the 8th century, in Lagore, Co.Meath. Ireland. The Celtic
triskel of a trifold of spirals coming from a central point, represents
the Celtic theme of birth, death and rebirth as a cycle in the eternal
circle of life.
Arawn:
Lord and King of the Welsh Otherworld. He had
a rival and arch enemy 'Hafgan', who he vanquished with the help of
Pwyll. They exchanged
shapes and kindoms for one year, both were kind and wise ruling the
other's kingdom and at the end of the year Pwyll disposed of Hafgan
with one blow. Arawn owned a magic cauldron and and gave some magic
pigs to Pwyll's son Pryderi,
which when they were stolen, led to the Battle of the Trees.
