The three Spiral Symbol is very much associated with the ancient Celts but evidence abroad can also be found.
So what does The Triple spiral mean first off The Name , The name Of The Triple Spiral is Triskelion , Triskel Trimurtis or Trimurti spiral.
Everything follows in groups 3 even in
The Single Spiral as well as The Double Spiral.
In Ancient Greece Triangles are associated with the after life. The Triangle represents the 3 points of death.
In a Remote Island known as Sicily The Triple Legs emanate from The Stories Of Medusa who was a Gorgon. In Greek Mythology her face once so beautiful turned into that of looking like a Corpse.
Indicating Death The where you are now & the where you end up The Under world.
On The Manx flag a Country in The Irish Sea known as The Ise Of mann has 3 legs on it's flag.
It is Believed The Legs are running twords The Sun.
In my previous study I talk about how The Sun & Space are Connected Too The Afterlife as well as The life we live now. Again Following The Teaching of three.
The Three Legs of Mann motto has been associated with the symbol since about 1300 A.D. “Quocunque Jeceris Stabit” literally translates to “Whichever so ever you throw it, it will stand.”
The Motto for The Manx of The Ise Of mann
All though that was established in the 13 hundreds it has Latin roots There are two theories as to the meaning of the island’s motto
mors certa, hora incerta is Latin for Death will happen but it's hour or time or day is uncertain death will stand.
The similarities between the two are uncanny.
And Quocunque Jeceris Stabit refers to theoretical
aerodynamical properties of the triskele, which will supposedly always have a foot to land on whichever way it lands
Land and the Afterlife are always said to correspond to one another life & Death which corresponds with whichever way you throw it,
It will land whatever you do now in this life won't effect death
When you're Dead you're Dead but the Passage way to Death or a Afterlife is Life groups of 3.
What is Clear about the Ancient Celtic World is that They too believe in Life after death Archaeological evidence provides Detail of what The Ancient Celtic people needed to Cross over into The Other World.
It is Believed The otherworld is free of Diseases & it's hard to fear death. It is Believed Alters for Deities will help Cross over into the Afterlife.
Same for Jewelry such as Torcs.
which indicate the deceased was going on a journey and that they would need these items when they reached their ultimate destination.
detail, even if in medieval Celtic literature in Britain and Ireland stories abound of heroes visiting the Otherworld where it is regarded as a land of order, happiness, and plenty.
Also do to the Single Spiral being associated with The Sun & The Galaxy & Space that may have inspired Stories about The Triple spiral being Sun Water & Land.
In Ancient Greece it's associated with The Story of The Gorgan and the legs similar to the one on the Manx Flag
The Depictions of running legs twords The Sun twords The Afterlife.
Everywhere The Celts lived The Romans and Greeks followed.
Lingones are a group of Celts who lived in The Italian Peninsula near Rome
Who lived in Gaul and Migrated over there from The area of Seine The Seine River is in France they moved up near The Po River around 400 BC there is also the possibility they always we're there. It is Believed Celts and Greeks & Roman's have a long long history together
So it's no wonder why they'd have a similar practice and Symbolism perhaps
And Spirals used by ancient celts are apart of the La Téne culture it is more likely that The Greeks and Romans in ancient Europe took the Triple spiral and associated it with The Tale of Medusa who was turned into the Gorgon from the Celts.
and La Tène culture is Associated with Indian culture do to the Indo European Migrations.
Because The neighboring Celts used The Triskelion as the symbol for the Other World The in-between, & Reincarnation.
The Triskel in Ancient Rome and Greece are also depicted on Coins in Sicily they are about 304 BC - 289 BC years old
Roman & Greek Coins of The 3 legged Triskel that date too 304 BC or 289 BC
The Sicily Flag Sicily being apart of Ancient Rome
Their National Flag shows The Triple Leg Triskel with Medusa in the middle
Ise Of Mann The Manx National Flag inspired by Their Celtic heritage and the history with Rome as said above.
Photos of The Celtic Triple spiral
Triskels found in Galicia and Portugal
Triskelion from Newgrange
Early celtic art From Bell Beaker people before La Tène culture
The spirals would've came in during the La Tène period which then would inspire Romans to Use Legs.
And La Tène art Started with Hinduism before it reached ancient Spain
Also in Native American Tradition The Triskel is used to mean the Afterlife as well as a warrior's home coming which dates back to the native people's migration of Siberia across Europe going into Canada then into North America. Most likely Adopted from Celtic or Scythians or Balkan Celts or Romans or Indians near the Danube River.
The Triple Spiral in Hinduism written by Author Jai Paul Dudeja has A PHD in Studying Hinduism, Hinduism being one of the oldest Religion's in the world.
Jai Dudeja writes in importance and hierarchy. Functionally they represent the triple functions of Manifested Brahman. Hence they are also called the Trimurtis.
A Brahman has similar traits as a Druid or a priest and or Shaman through them the Teachings and knowledge of the God's are taught in Hinduism by some they may even be looked at as a God or in connection with them. It is also believed to represent the Afterlife of Reincarnation , Rebirth,& the in-between.
As well as The Story The three features are: creator, sustainer and destroyer sometimes associated with Hindu deities. Indicating everything in the universe happens because of those 3 things life death Afterlife. Or Death In-between & Reincarnation.

Also Triple spirals Carved into Newgrange which is a Ancient tomb located in Ireland & it also has Quadruple spirals & Newgrange alines with The Winter solstice
The key piece of the Newgrange design was a 'roof-box' or 'light-box' which controlled the way light came into the passage. It was built with carefully crafted baffles that restricted the entry of light to the time of the winter solstice and also so that the light only came in at sunrise.
In 1980 Irish-American researcher Martin Brennan discovered that Cairn T in Carnbane East is directed to receive the beams of the rising sun on the spring and autumnal equinox - the light shining down the passage and illuminating the art on the backstone. The Cairn T alignment is similar to the well-known illumination at the passage tomb at Brú na Bóinne (Newgrange), which is aligned to catch the rays of the winter solstice sunrise.
Here is The Quadruple spiral close range
Quadruple Spiral For Summer Solstice and winter solstice & Spring equinox & fall equinox alined with The Sun
The Basque Symbol for The Sun Solstices and equinoxes also looks similar to The Quadruple spiral it is called the Lauburu.
