Triskeles, Triquetra, Trinacria are different version of an ancient Indo-European symbol that we can find in different civilizations trough history.

The Triskele symbol, otherwise known as the Triskelion, is a trilateral symbol consisting of three interlocked spirals. It evokes the Celtic interpretation of the three realms of material existence: earth, water, and sky and all their interconnections. The symbol is also thought to represent the three worlds: spiritual, physical, and celestial. Other Trinity connections associated with the triskele are life-death-rebirth, past-present-future, earth-water-sky, and creation-protection-destruction. Triskeles with the left facing spirals recalls the sun symbol of life and rebirth, while the right facing spirals recall the Katabasis, the descending to the underground and the transformation.

The Triquetra is a triangular figure composed of three interlaced arcs that relates to the number three, like the three activities of ancient society: worship, war, and toil, the tripartite division of the world into the realms of Land, Sea, and Sky, the three moon and sun phases. It is also thought to have a connection with ancient triple goddesses.

Trinacria is a triangular symbol composed of three legs bent at the knee. The symbol is anciently closely associated with Sicily and the Greek society. The three legs in the Trinacria Symbol stand for the three promontories of Sicily. In the Symbol of Sicily, the Trinacria also presents the head of Medusa with entwined serpent’s hair and ears of corn. The ears of wheat represent the symbol of the fertility of the land while the head of Medusa refers to the three gorgon and the ancient apotropaic symbol of the gorgoneion. The arrangement of the three legs, suggests a rotation connected with the cycles of Time, Sun, and Moon.

The Three Hares symbol features three hares or rabbits chasing each other in a circle. Each of the ears is shared by two hares, so that only three ears are shown. The symbol is thought to have a range of symbolic or mystical associations with fertility and the lunar cycle. Rabbits and hare have always been associated with the fertility of the earth, the rebirth of spring and the moon phases, so the symbol is also connected with the idea of life, death, and rebirth, with the three phases of women’s life and with the menstrual cycle.

Thanks to those powerful symbolism, these figures have always been used as a protection amulet, as an apotropaic symbol, and as a charm for luck, abundance, and prosperity.

I really want to make a compilation post of all the triquetra sightings in Asgard. I like how subtle they can be. Just look at these for example. And there are so many.

(Do not try to educate me on the valknut/triquetra topic, I know. This isn't about that.)

Star Wars and myths, various wonderings

The triquetra is a common symbol in mythology, and it often a symbol of triple goddess figures. In Star Wars, it could refer to the Mortis gods.

But it may still be a call back to the triple goddess, or it may simply refer to Hecate, the goddess of witches, also represented as a 3 part goddess.

Maiden, Mother, Crone.

Since episode 1 of episode Ahsoka features three female protagonists, it's not hard to gravitate towards them as such a triad, but I'm not sure who would be the crone here. Ahsoka isn't THAT old. But Sabine would be the maiden, Hera the mother.

The triple goddess is also Luna/Diana/Hecate, Moon/Huntress/Underworld[witch]. It is common in Celtic mythology as well.

Star Wars Rebels in particular mixed mythologies, and we see wolves in everything as Filoni is fond of them. There is Skoll and Hati, the wolves of Norse mythology. Marrok the Inquistor is named for an Arthurian knight who was a werewolf.

Mythologically, the wren is the King of Birds, clever and bold and outwitting the larger eagle. The Irish word for wren is dreolin, meaning Druid's bird.
