The Celtic Cross’ construction features a traditional cross accentuated with a circle around the intersection of the arms and stem. Subject to many different interpretations, the Celtic Cross is said to be a representation of knowledge, strength and compassion to manage life’s ups and downs.

The serpent’s meaning as a spirit animal is that of transformation and change. Few creatures embody the process of spiritual transformation so well as the snake, who must repeatedly shed its skin in order to grow. A snake is also a powerful healer and a symbol of death and rebirth. The four arms of the Celtic cross are thought to be representative of the four directions of the compassions, the four elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water, and as representation of our mind, soul, body and heart. The center ring of the Celtic Cross is said to be evocative of the Celtic symbol for infinite love. According to legends, when St Patrick understood the significance of those stones, he drew a cross on top of the circular stone to bless it. Thus originated the Celtic Cross, a symbol of combining two faiths; the Cross represents Christianity, and the circle represents eternity, having no beginning and no end.
