Celtic art reverberates through the centuries, identified by the simple sophistication of form and an indefinable feeling for the rightness of things. Modern interpretations of Celtic tradition have given us the Arts and Crafts movement, where the ancient Celtic beliefs in elegance of form, and a reverence for the Earth and its creatures, is apparent in the work of designers such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Archibald Knox.
Celtic knotwork is an ancient tradition. It's origins can be traced back as far 500 BCE. Knotwork is found in many 7th to 9th century CE manuscripts filling borders and empty space. These intricate, artistic patterns are indeed masterpieces of craftsmanship; some taking months of work to perfect. A fabulous example of this beautiful illumination is the Book of Kells. This artwork is so stunningly beautiful in it's seeming simplicity - a single path that never terminates except within itself.
Silver is sacred to the Moon It is believed to carry the qualities of Invocation, Love, Psychism, Peace, Protection & Dreams. It is also used for charms to attract money. Because Silver is found in its pure form, it was one of the first metals to be used by humans. Its beauty and scarcity have caused it to be fashioned into divine images and offering pieces for many centuries.
