 Celtic Zoomprphic Knotwork The Celtic
spirit is one of change and adaptability, not easily harnessed by outside
doctrines. The zoomorphic designs best portray this aspect of the Celts.
During their travels and transformations in the physical and spiritual
sense, they identified the metamorphic changes of nature, such as caterpillar
to moth, with the profound stages of evolution. "Oneness" with
nature is a belief shared by all ancient people. For the Celts, it meant
a recognition of form not being a precise structure but having the possibility
to transform on all levels of existence. Their zoomorphic designs portray
this belief clearly and also reveal an ancient wisdom and understanding
beyond other cultures. Part of their religious belief was in the progressive
incarnations of souls or metempsychosis - the transmigration of souls
into another physical body. Zoomorphic designs feature animals, which
represent deities and therefore symbolize their powers in life.
