Can Someone Explain This Symbol to me?

[WithLoveFromAlyssa]

I have A teacher Who seems very nice, But anytime you mention God or anything, She Gets very quiet, and short Worded.
Any who, She Has A tattoo Symbol on her (I just saw it today, as she keeps it hidden) Do Any Of You know what this symbol means? I'm Wondering if Its a Religious symbol, Ive never seen it before....

I'd encourage you to show love to her. Unity, I think is her hearts desire. It may be very personal and something she holds deep within herself. Unity. Love for one another. The way the tattoo unifies itself completely with itself. A oneness. One may present many approaches for it, love truely conquers all.

I've seen this symbol before. In what, I can't remember exactly, but it was in a forum similar to CF, though without all the restraints on viewpoints and religion. Whether said person was Christian, pagan, or whatever, I can't say.

I have seen this symbol in numerous form of media and I know it well. It is associated with earlier pagan concepts of a trinity much like Hindus and their Trimurti. This symbol much like the pentagram has been adopted by Christians from the Germanic Pagans.
Also I know of a church in Saudi Arabia that uses it which is why I know of it so well. The symbol is left to interpretation but there are more then the Biblical trinity. There has been the Trinity of demons such as Behemoth, Zihz and Levihathan. Then one has Vishanu, Siva and Brahmah from the Hindus. The symbol itself is not bad since it is used in my church gatherings.

Often used by Christians to represent the trinity.

I think I've seen it on a Methodist hymnal.
