Nowadays, it has come to refer exclusively to a particular more complicated shape formed of three Vesica piscis vesicae piscis , sometimes with an added circle in or around it. This has been used as a religious symbol of things and persons that are threefold. Ancient usage Germanic paganism The triquetra has been found on runestone s in Northern Europe and on early Germanic peoples Germanic coins. It presumably had Germanic paganism pagan religious meaning and it bears a resemblance to the Valknut , a symbol associated with Odin . Celtic art The triquetra is often found in Insular art , most notably metal work and in illuminated manuscript s like the Book of Kells . It is also found in similar artwork on Celtic crosses and slabs from the early Christian period. The fact that the triquetra rarely stood alone in medieval Celtic art has cast reasonable doubt on its use as a primary symbol of belief. In manuscripts it was used primarily as a space filler or ornament in much more complex compositions, and in knotwork panels it is a design motif integrated with other design elements. Celtic art lives on as both a living folk art tradition and through several revivals. This widely recognized knot has been used as a singular symbol for the past two centuries by Celtic Christians, Pagans and agnostics as a sign of special things and persons that are threefold. ref In Search of Meaning, Dalriada Magazine 2001, http www.celtarts.com in search of meaning.htm ref Christian use The symbol has been used by Christianity Christians as a sign of the Blessed Trinity God the Father Father , Jesus Christ Son and Holy Spirit , especially since the Celtic Revival of the 19th century.

It focusses on historical Norse paganism of the Viking Age as described in the Edda s, but proponents also take a more inclusive approach, defining it as Northern European Heathenry not limited to a specific historical period. There are three national organizations of Nordic Paganism in the United States, satr Alliance , Asatru Folk Assembly satr Folk Assembly and The Troth , besides numerous smaller or regional associations. Historically, the main dispute between these has generally centered on the interpretation of Nordic heritage as either something cultural, or as something genetic or racial metagenetic . In the internal discourse within American satr , this cultural racial divide has long been known as universalist vs. folkish Asatru. ref Strmiska and Sigurvinsson 2005 , pp. 134f. ref The Troth takes the universalist position, claiming Asatru as a synonym for Northern European Heathenry taken to comprise many variations, names, and practices, including Theodism , Irminism, Odinism, and Anglo Saxon Heathenry . In the Neopaganism in the United Kingdom UK , Germanic Neopaganism is more commonly known as Odinism or as Heathenry . This is mostly a matter of terminology, and US Asatru may be equated with UK Odinism for practical purposes, as is evident in the short lived International Asatru Odinic Alliance of folkish Asatru Odinist groups.
