Celtic Moment

Back in the day, when there was free land and small villages living on there own. Kind of like “the Shire” from Lord of the Rings and things like that.

I am looking for opinions and insight from someone who understands the Irish/Celtic tradition, history, and religious insights. I posted in the tattoo section but didn’t get a lot of responses. So I’m posting in a more general section and hope that you don’t report me. I don’t want a Triquetra b/c it is significant of the Trinity which I don’t believe in. Someone mentioned a Tricelta (sp?) which I liked. The background I found states that it’s significant of the earth, sun, and so forth but does that mean Wiccan? While I am a Christian, I’m not an overly religious person. I do want to celebrate my Irish heritage with a beautiful tattoo, but I don’t want to contradict my personal beliefs.. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for the input. I’ve got a lot to think about now that I’ve seen a different outlook on it. I know it seems a little weird to put that much thought into it but I want this one to mean something. I’ve got two other tattoos that when I got them, didn’t mean a whole lot to me except that they were cool. However, now, in hindsight, they represent a time in my life where I was struggling to find myself. Having gone through that, I want this new and probably final tattoo to be a work of art that I can be proud of and have a deep personal meaning. Thanks again to all of you and whatever insights you’ve helped me gain.

I’m planning on buying my boyfriend a ring for Valentine’s Day. I have my heart set on the “Mo Anam Cara” ring; Irish for “My Soul-mate”… last year I could swear there was a site that had the ring saying “mo anam cara” on the outside of the band and translated to “my soul mate” inside of the band.. but I can’t find that site anywhere! All I can find are the rings with just “mo anam cara” on the outside.. can someone please help if you can? Thanks!

It doesn’t need to be solemn or religious… just about love (not loss), finding love, etc.

btw, can anyone give me a ballpark on what it might be worth?
if it’s not can anyone tell me what it IS called? ty

does anyone know what this symbol means? it’s got celtic knots and a shamrock in the middle, obviously it’s irish… but anything more?

any history behind the knots or any info at all about it would be great!

I’m doing a project for my orchestra class, and we have to trace our instrument’s history. I play the Irish fiddle, and I was wondering if anyone had any further information about the origins. I have done some research on the violin, but I can’t really find anything specifically about the fiddle. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am a bartender and am looking for some good songs to play during my shift on St. Patricks Day. Thanks
