Do You Really Want To Hoot Me?

Mini owl-verload, Josh Howard!

Celtic Luckenbooth Brooch

Luckenbooths were shops in Edinburgh,  they were the first permanent shops that housed jewellery workers and other trades in the city. The Luckenbooth Brooch is worn as a symbol of eternal love in Scotland, dating back to the 17th century it was traditionally exchanged between lovers on betrothal. The crown is symbolizing loyalty. It has figures very similar to the Claddagh Ring, and a similar purpose of being a love token. The luckenbooth brooch is probably the most romantic and lovely type of brooch in Scotland's history,  a timeless symbol of young love's promise. From the eighteenth century forwards small plain heart shaped brooches were worn to protect against evil spirits, the evil eye. Even today it is still a very popular gift for weddings for many Scots.  

The Mystique Of The Maze Patterns

Maze designs  (also called Key Patterns) are designs that have paralell lines in them so that they create a maze. These patterns look almost like angular spirals, may range from a few simple turns to complex labyrinth type designs and associated with the goddess. Celtic Maze patterns originate in early Celtic developments in stone and metal work, and later in medieval Insular art. Celtic Mazes have been used as an aid to meditation and prayer for centuries. The maze patterns also include the so called step patterns and are symbolizing the journey that we all take on the long road of life. It can, for example be a labyrinth which represents the path of your learning and your experiences. They have also found a place worth mentioning in the Celtic tattoo designs and the beauty and simplicity make them an ideal introduction to Celtic art.
