Circle Knots
Circle of Life / Saol Fainne
The belief in rebirth is a major tenet of Celtic belief, and the intricately woven circle knots found in modern Celtic artwork perfectly illustrate this belief.  The threads of the knot have no beginning or end, and continuously loop around and under each other.  They are constantly spiraling and transforming into different shapes.  This unbroken movement gives the circle intense metaphorical power, and exemplifies the continuity of existence and man's never ending spiritual journey.
Through rebirth, we are transformed and strengthened, leading to deeper wisdom and spirituality.  The circle knot represents the delicate dance of nature, life, death, and rebirth.



These Innisfree Glass plates have been named to honor the cycles of life we travel through on our spiritual quest, the predictability and eternal nature of the changing seasons, and our connection with the heavens and otherworlds.
