Handmade Trisquel Shell by ©Marc Heffner - http://caminoestrella.com/shells/ The triple spiral motif is a Neolithic symbol in Western Europe. Traditional Asian versions of the triskelion include the Japanese Mitsudomoe, the Tibetan Buddhist Gankyil, and the Korean Sam Taegeuk.

The Japanese Tomoe (巴) is the symbol of gem (勾玉), soul (魂), spirit (精霊) and energy (心霊). Representing the rotation of life, rebirth and continuity. The three-tomoe design called mitsudomoe (三つ巴), according to Japanese tradition creates the harmony of a perfect circle... #mitsudome #tomoe #japan #yinyang #samtaegeuk #tao #chichanyc #solstice (at Chicha NYC 💖)

Sam Taegeuk or Gankyil "the wheel of joy" Sam-taegeuk represents the union of opposites that composes the cosmos...In ancient Korea the symbol was used to drive off evil spirits...and symbolized red as heaven, blue as Earth, the physical world and yellow as humanity. In relation to Kabbalah, blue is the left pillar, yellow the center pillar, and red is the right pillar. Also called Gankyil, it is symbolic of primordial energy and represents the central unity and indivisibility of all the teachings...
