The Celtic Knot comes in numerous variations.  The knot is made from one string with many loops and has no beginning or ending.  This represents love, and how life and relationships can be complex.  Since the knot follows a specific pattern, it also means that just because life can be complex, it is not without order.  The knot furthermore represents loyalty, faith, and friendship.
  
About the Norse Shieldmaidens
Shieldmaidens are female Viking warriors. They are often mentioned in Nordic sagas (history).  In old Norse they are called skjoldmøer.  Men and women were equal in the Viking culture.  Women could own land and were often captains in battle.  Shieldmaidens with battle weapons have been found in graves alongside male Viking warriors.  In one grave (Birka, Sweden) a shieldmaiden was found, and based on her weapons and other artifacts, she was a high-ranking Viking warrior.

Today, the Viking culture of exploration, innovation and heritage still influences our modern-day life. Thursday, for example, means Thor’s Day, and many Christmas traditions are rooted in Viking culture.

Women who embrace love, freedom, strength, bravery, and honesty are today’s shieldmaidens.
