Breton Triselle

Triskel is a sacred symbol with three branches, well known to the Bretons.But in fact, it originates in several eras and several civilizations. Although known as a Celtic symbol, triskel is primarily pagan .

Traces of this symbol can be found in the Scandinavian Bronze Age. It symbolizes the number 3 and therefore the holy trinity in different cultures.Among the Vikings and, more broadly, in Scandinavian mythology, the triskel represents the gods Thor, Odin and Freyr.Triskel also represents three main elements: earth, water and fire. Air is represented by a dot in the center of the symbol.Symbols in honor of Odin

In Scandinavian mythology, Odin is the god of the gods, "the father of all things," which explains a large number of viking characters in his honor.
