The Celtic Knot Square

The Celtic knot is perhaps the most recognizable artwork in Celtic history.   The Celtic knot symbol, is also referred to as the mystic knot, or the endless knot. There are no written records of what the various knots symbolized at the time they were originally created.

Celtic knots are not designed to be merely pleasing to the eyes. They are also symbols that can show us how we are all part of a never ending cycle of life, where we each add our particular strand in the fabric of time and space.

The Celtic Knot Square is another ‘satisfying’ candle.  It’s just a very pleasant object to look at.  Children love tracing along the pattern with their finger, trying to work out where the knot begins and of course where it ends.

  

Each Celtic Knot Square candle stands at just under five inches tall  (120mm) and is 4 inches (100mm) square.  Each Celtic Square weighs 930gms which is two pounds and one ounce in old money. 

This is a decent lump of a candle, solid and perfectly square.  The Celtic knot that hugs the square is 10mm deep.

Their meanings are really in the eyes of the artists and of the beholder. And they are much more abstract than symbolizing specific human emotions or relationships. As with most Celtic symbols, the meaning of various knotwork designs are more abstract and are usually more related to the universe and life in general.

As we make all of our own candle moulds you will not find another candle like this anywhere in the world and as each candle is hand poured, handcrafted and hand finished no two candles will ever be the same. 

  

This is indeed a unique and special item.  You can use it as a thank you gift or as a gift to show someone how much you care about them, or you can pamper yourself.
