+ larger view	(630) Hares and Moons
This pattern was brought to me from a book of fairy dreams (I found the fable to be quite fascinating.) The Celts in Ireland believed not in the man in the moon but the "Hare in the Moon". Notice how the ears join from a triskelle, a symbol of the triple goddess or Mother Earth with the three crescent moons floating in the heavens. The Hare was thought of a symbol of good fortune and fertility. (Item No. 630)

Related strongly to the Star of Eire, the bealin knot is split into two bands the inner pattern intertwines through loops formed by the other forming a cross.

+ larger view	(802) The Tyrone Knot
Probably the most powerful knot in the book . This design is a triquetra in it's simplest form it represents ( Mother Earth or the Triple Goddess ) showing affinity towards the world as it should be ( A Simply Thought ) and doubly so, this double triquetra by two interwoven parallel lines. These two parallel lines are used to protect one another , from without and within , representing one individual's life and his or her relationship to another loved one, interwoven yet separate. Each triquetra also represents the forces of nature: earth, air and water. Later the triquetra was interpreted as the Holy Trinity and yet a strength in spiritual bond. The interwoven lines promote strength of friendship and love. I first came upon it on the Donaghmore cross in the Innisowen Peninsula , Co.Donegal. (Item No. 802)
