Summary
| DescriptionTriple-Spiral-Symbol.svg | The Triple Spiral symbol, based on motifs found at the prehistoric site at Newgrange, Ireland, and used as a neo-pagan or Triple Goddess symbol. This version is made up of mathematical Archimedean spirals. For a version with thicker lines, see Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol-heavystroked.svg . For spiral triskelions, see also Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol-filled.svg , Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol-4turns-filled.svg , and Image:Triskele-Symbol-spiral.svg .

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% PostScript program to display an Archimedean spiral by approximating
% it with Bezier curves. Can display a double spiral (two spirals
% rotated by 180 degrees with respect to each other).
%%% Parameters:
% centerx = horizontal coordinate of center of spiral
% centery = vertical coordinate of center of spiral
% rotf = degrees to rotate
/sepwid 110 def % width separating successive turnings of spiral
% (half this if double spiral is selected)
/incrm 15 def % insert a curve point after this number of degrees
/sweeps 3 def % number of 360 degree turnings to show
/double 1 def % change to 0 to display single spiral
/linew 13.75 def % increase number for thicker line
