What is the meaning of a triquetra symbol?

The triquetra is a symbol composed of 3 interlocked fish marking the intersection of 3 circles. It is a symbol of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).EDIT (by separate individual): This answer is wrong. The triquetra is common in most pagan religions, including wicca, and satanism. Acts 17:29 clearly forbids the above answer:"Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device."Yes, the triquetra is used on the NKJV bible, but the NKJV is not an original version. You will not find the triquetra anywhere on a KJV1611 AV Bible. The Bible also states in Revelation 22:18-19:"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of this book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy city and from the things which are written in this book."Which tells me that any modified version the KJV1611 bible is a counterfeit, including the NIV, NKJV, NLT, and any other version you can think of.AnswerThe Triquetra is generally believed to originally be of Norse and Germanic origins. The triquetra can be used to represent various triplicities such as the tripartite division of the world into the realms of Land, Sea and Sky; a symbol of one of the specific triple Goddesses; the interconnected parts of our existence - Mind, Body, and Soul - or many other concepts that seem to fit into this idea of a unity. As with many Celtic themes the unbroken circle represents eternity. The three symbol is not limited to only Celts, cultures in regions throughout the world consider the number three to be a divine number. (EDIT: If you notice, you can make out three sixes, which is the number of the devil and his angels.)The symbol of three interlocking circles has been found on 5000 year old Indian religious sites. In Europe the symbol itself dates as early as the eighth century on carved stones. A Norse rune known as the Odin Knot or Val Knot resembles it almost exactly.(From another user)The Triquetra is a Holy symbol, meaning that it is not satanic. It is also used in many religions, so yes, the first answer is also true. It could also mean sun, sky or whatever you want.Linking this symbol to satanism is an outrage, that only someone as narrow-minded as the main poster would do. Pagans do not recognize the existence of the Judea-Christian creation of Satan, let alone worship such a being. Any research into Paganism would quickly tell you that much. This symbol, just like the Pentagram were once used by Christians, please do your research before posting opinion as fact. For Pagans the symbol represents the three stages of the feminine life cycle, the maiden (the young virgin), the mother (pregnancy and motherhood), and the crone (old age and wisdom). It can also represent the threefold of nature, earth, water, and sky. The symbol is sometimes used by Wiccans to symbolize either the Wiccan triple Goddess (maiden, mother and crone), the interconnected parts of our existence (Mind, Body, and Soul), or other concepts that seem to fit into the idea of a unity.

What is the amulet in the movie Constantine?

It is a Triquetra. It was first seen in ancient Germanic paganism as a rune-stone similar to the Valknut and then in Celtic artwork as space filler or ornament. It's first known use as a religious symbol was with Christians during the Celtic revival of the 19th century. The symbol bore resemblance to the three-leafed shamrock that St. Patrick offered as a trinity symbol, so it became another symbol of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Neopaganism has adopted the symbol to represent among many other things to symbolize the three stages of woman (Maiden, Wife, Crone). Wiccans generally use the symbol to represent the three parts of human existence (mind, body, soul).
