The emblem for Family Bound is the traditional Dara (“doire”) knot, which is the Celtic symbol of strength. It’s designed in such a way as to represent the oak tree, with its strong, rooted trunk and interwoven branches. In Celtic tradition, the oak tree symbolizes inner strength, power, wisdom and endurance. The lines of the Dara knot have no end; they are eternal. Celtic knots were used for decorations, as spiritual charms, and as teaching aids.
