hello...i have been trying to figure out what is ment my an arcane circle..i have attached a pic. when i look up the word arcane it takes me to so many different meaning and explination....please help

your picture is interesting and is based on celtic knotwork specifically the triquetra (triple knot) in the centre.

The triquetra generally is used as a space filler within designs however there has been a few examples where the triquetra has been used to denote something.  Historians are unsure as to the precise meaning and are loathe to put a specfic meaning on that symbol however its is on occaision believed that this symbol is based on either the holy trinity or the triple goddess depending on your christian belief.  Certainly prior to the resurgence in popularity of celtic art and knotwork it was rarely seen alone.

Not sure if your 'arcane circle' is arcane i would suggest its based on tribal art incorporating celtic knotwork.  Hope this helps.  Perhaps others may have a different perspective.

Let me know what you think?

thanks...i kinda figured that it was not an exact replica but more someone's interpretation of a similar symbol. but thanks for the info and i will do some more research using the names you have given me and see what turns up
