The Celtic Knot, also known as the Celtic love knot or endless knot, is a traditional Celtic symbol that has its roots in Celtic culture and art. It's characterized by its intricate, interwoven design with no beginning or end, symbolizing eternity, continuity, and interconnectedness.

While the Celtic Knot is not specifically a part of Norse mythology, there are similar motifs and symbols within Norse art and culture that share some resemblance to Celtic knotwork. In Norse mythology and Viking art, there are various knot-like designs, such as:

The Borromean Rings: This is a knot-like design consisting of three interlocking circles. It's often associated with Odin, the chief of the Norse gods, and is found in various Norse artifacts and carvings.

The Valknut: As mentioned earlier, the Valknut is a symbol consisting of three interlocking triangles. While not exactly a knot, it shares some visual similarities with Celtic knotwork and is associated with Odin and themes of fate, destiny, and the afterlife.

Knotwork Patterns: Norse art often features intricate knotwork patterns in various designs, such as animal motifs, geometric shapes, and decorative borders. While not specifically representing eternity like the Celtic Knot, these knotwork designs are significant elements of Norse artistic tradition.

While the Celtic Knot itself is not a part of Norse mythology, the artistic motifs and symbolism it embodies share common themes with Norse art and culture. Both Celtic and Norse traditions express ideas of interconnectedness, continuity, and the cyclical nature of existence through their respective artistic symbols and designs.
