The quaternity knot is a common element found within Celtic art. First drawn during the Middle Ages, Celtic knots have endured for nearly 1600 years. Over time, the individual meanings of each knot have been lost, but it’s believed the interlaced patterns, which appear to have no beginning or end, were a symbol of eternity, as well as, a talisman against evil. The bad spirits were believed to get lost within the maze of the knot never able to “solve” it. The more complex the knot, the more powerful the protection. Therefore, those who wore knots were thought to have good luck.

The cross — a symbol of faith — was also seen as a talisman against evil. When you combined a cross with knots it was considered the ultimate amulet. With its four points and endless path, the quaternity can easily be seen as a knotted cross — the most powerful symbol of eternal faith and protection.

But perhaps there’s an even deeper truth hidden within the four petals of the quaternity: When you have faith, the world blossoms with goodness and luck.
