Celtic Runes Meanings

Each of the symbols represents the Celtic Runes Meanings which are said to perpetuate the power of others to give sustained benefits.

Each individual piece of St.Justin jewellery and giftware is crafted by hand and eye in West Cornwall - the south west extremity of Britain. This wild and beautiful land was home to the many native Celts who were driven away from the temperate midlands of Britain by envading European warriors such as the Angles of Northern Germany, who certainly studied the

celtic runes meanings. It is in places such as Cornwall, Ireland and Scotland that the art of the Celts and ancient Britains has survived, carved into stone tombs and discovered on pottery fragments and ornaments.

The Celtic deities were bold, noble, beautiful and daring, representing mythic archetypes clear to us from modern day psychology.

It is thought that the legends and stories of the Celtic Gods were used to teach and inspire, much as the Bible is used today. The Celts thought themselves to be potentially existent in all worlds, in the sense that they related to each part of their cosmology. It was considered easy to pass between the worlds of the created realms and the Otherworld. The Otherworld

in Celtic myth exists alongside and entwined with the real world. This is clearly represented in the continuous spirals and lines of Celtic Art, which also represent the continuity of life.

Sacred to Celtic religion was the number three and its compound number, nine. Great importance was given to these triplicates, and this is seen particularly in Celtic triscele designs.

As the years went by, religious scholars and monks adopted the traditions of Celtic art,creating illuminated texts such as the Lindisfarne Gospels. Their work exemplifies the simple sophistication of form so well presented in the work of St Justin. As Christian beliefs spread across the world, the Celtic cross evolved, with the circle that surrounds the cross symbolising the 'great wheel of life' - a belief that

pre-dates Christianity. These carved stone crosses are scattered throughout the country and are a common site in our Churchyards today.
