Celtic Spirals :
When early man observed the beauty of nature's spirals its not surprising that it would become a potent symbol for creation and growth. It is the only provable decorative motif used in Christian Celtic art to have its roots in the preceding pagan period, the best examples are found on stone monuments such as Newgrange, in Ireland.
In the Neolithic world, passing a spiral barrier (like the entrance stone to Newgrange in Ireland) the initiate is led into an inner sanctuary that was the necessary passport in the journey of the sacred dance, through the labyrinth to the sacred realms beyond the centre. At the centre, there is complete balance: the point where Heaven and Earth are joined.
