Common Symbols on a Celtic Wedding Ring and Their Meanings

Modern brides and grooms are returning to the styles of yesteryear more and more. Some are even using Celtic themes and Celtic wedding rings in their ceremonies, as a gentle nod to the romantic ways of old. Many, however, don't necessarily understand the meaning behind the various symbols that are pictured on the rings. Below is a brief discussion of some of the symbols.

Tulip Interlace

This interlace design with its unbroken lines symbolizes the binding of a man's soul to the earth and the process of a man's eternal spiritual growth. When it is shown on a Celtic wedding ring it can also represent how the two souls are now bound into one and that their individual spiritual journeys are now interlinked as they travel the path to reach the spirit world. This is a common design seen on most Celtic wedding rings and with good reason. In fact, many use these rings as meditative tools to think upon their lives and where they might be headed. A quick glance at this Celtic wedding ring design will let you know that you no longer travel the path alone.

Celtic Key Pattern

These patterns, often found on Celtic wedding rings are called such because of the way they interlock with each other. Like the Tulip Interlace, this pattern can represent the path or labyrinth taken during life's journey to the spiritual world. Many times this symbol was used in religious constructs as the boundary and joining point of heaven and earth. This common Celtic wedding ring symbol is also a sign of finding your way through the confusion of every day life and reaching the center as a whole and complete person. What better way to symbolize your love for your eternal soul mate?

Celtic Tree of Life

Another symbol sometimes seen on Celtic wedding rings is that of the Celtic Tree of Life. Usually growing out of a cauldron, which represents the earth mother and all things nurturing, this is a wonderful symbol to use as a way to remind you and your husband as to the growth and change that will come with your life together. In addition, this Celtic wedding ring symbol is known as a sign of vitality and virility, both wonderful aspects of a fulfilling marriage.

No matter which Celtic wedding ring symbol you choose, and there are many others besides the ones briefly mentioned here, be sure to pick one that speaks to your heart, to your love, and even to your life. Chances are you'll be wearing them for some time to come.
