Flatouts Celtic Tree of Life

To dazzel and inspire ones mind. That this coin can do, as it is a fine piece of art work of the Celtic nature.

Coin designed by Scavok has a beautiful version of the Irish Celtic Tree of Life. The art work is so defined that it takes a magnification to truly appreciate. For instance did you notice the Doves and Squirrels amongst the branches. Read more about the Celtic Tree of Live here for general information. Oh and also here.

On the back are 7 Celtic designs within one large design. Again magnification shows it's intricate and amazing artistic perfection.
As pictured on the right the symbols are as follows:

Top Left: Triskelion
The traditional triskelion does not have 3 circles; it is 3 branched arms giving the appearance of constant forward movement. The trinity aspect has many meanings, but for the purpose of this coin my intention was representation of mind, body and spirit. Mine is a triskelion with the three branches mirrored on its self (mirrored curves create the circles) representing reflection of the past and looking to the future in all three aspects.

Top Right: The Labyrinth
One of the many symbols with many, may meanings throughout a world of cultures. This is a very important symbol to me in that the path between two points is always longer than a straight line. If you have never walked a labyrinth, go find one and use it. I’m not somebody who hums over scented candles, chanting curses and things like that so don’t think I’m a weirdo in any sort. But, really, walking a labyrinth while taking some solace and putting everything else out of your mind is an eye opener by the time you reach the center. If you've done it, you know what I mean.

Right: The Animal
This symbol is my rendition of the knot called “the animal.” There are as many meanings for this symbol as there are artistic renditions. My claim to this symbol is freedom.

Bottom Right: Arrow Trinity
Representing mind, body and spirit, this time in the sense of power, determination and inner strength.

Bottom Left: Quaternary Knot
It is a continuous knot (not the 3 sided “endless knot”) leading to all 4 classic directionals in all 4 seasons and is also believed to symbolize luck (a clover predecessor) and with luck comes protection in the journey.

Left: Flower
Celtic artists would use flowers in vines to symbolize union and the fact that as special as a single, unique item may be, there is beauty in numbers (whether it be people, flowers, adventures, experiences…). My rendition is just one flower, but interweaved vines are included.

Center: Clockwise Spiral
The simple clockwise spiral (again in the three important areas) is often representative of the sun emphasizing growth and development.

The Tree of Life: The tree of life is the connection of all the other symbols. Also a sign of wisdom, It was the doorway between hope and reality, sustenance and protection, work and recreation. It is the symbol of complete interdependence between all aspects of the world we live in.
