“	But that original power was passed down in secret. The Nine Olde Witches sealed it within Arcturus. That itself is the magic which can reconstruct the world--Grand Triskellion.	”
—Ursula, Chariot of Fire

The Grand Triskellion is a magic passed down by witches from the megalithic ages, with a tremendous power capable of changing the world. In the Middle Ages, the Nine Olde Witches sealed it within the Arcturus Forest. The seal can only be broken by the staff of the seven stars, Claiomh Solais, after all Seven Words of Arcturus are revived.

Foreshadowing in Blue Moon

The Seal of the Grand Triskellion is unlike the conventional pattern in that its three spirals do not share a common vertex. Instead, each spiral of the Triskellion meets at hands that overlap the other counterclockwise. (This image is played off in session two's introduction video, for which the three hands belong to Akko, Sucy, and Lotte) From the center outward, each "arm" forms a tight spiral with the other two arms. This symbol is closed in a circle resembling the inside of a flower with seven small equidistant petals. From each petal grows a large leaf with a Word of Arcturus written on it in the Luna Alphabet. The tip of each leaf resembles a crescent moon. This seal is superimposed on a large tree.

Trivia

• The Triskelion is a motif formed by a triple spiral with 60 degree rotational symmetry. The symbol is most associated with the Isle of Man and its flag. (Luna Nova Academy is located on the Isle of Man)
