Dimity Celtic Cross Tattoo Design horse shoe incorporating the Scottish key patternsThis beautiful intricate cross is an adaptation of one drawn by the masterful Celtic artist Courtney Davis. Named for the Pagan Goddess Dimity, known for her power over the waters and the dance, she is one of many ancient Ones whose essence was woven into the new religion when Christianity came to the Islands. Her reverse wave and cunning knotwork in the patterns of the celidhe dance make this cross a stunning tattoo pattern.
