The
Symbolism Have you ever looked at a Celtic border or knot design closely and noticed how the lines lace together and are formed from one continuous line that looks like it is woven? This form of Celtic art actually began as an imitation of the three-dimensional arts of plaiting, weaving and basketry. Interlacing borders and panels can be found in the art of most peoples including the Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Persians, Arabs, Hebrews, and North African tribes.
But we have gotten too far away from this basic philosophy. We require more and more from the earth and we are severely depleting her natural resources. We have been used to taking all we want and not considering what the long term effects are. And now, we are seeing the destruction we have created: Global warming, species becoming extinct, not enough water and food for everyone, loss of habitats for animals, birds and sea creatures.
Working with other members of your community makes it easier. We know that if we work together we can create more far -reaching results in a shorter amount of time. In Willits, where we live, we have a community group called WELL: Willits Economic Localization. They feel that through economic localization we can create local food and energy systems that give us a stronger connection with each other and nature, and will give us more responsible options for food, energy and transportation. This will help us secure the future for our families and children, and for the wildlife that lives around us. They are happy to share ideas and offer advice on how to start a group in your community. You can contact them at Willits Economic Localization Website
