Four Warriors and Druids had great status in early Celtic life. Druids included priests, bards and craftsmen. Metal work was highly regarded, and incised (or raised) designs, such as, this pewter knotwork, could be found on armour, shields, swords, drinking vessels and jewelry The Celts and other Pagan religions interpreted the number four to represent the directions (north, south, east and west) as well as the four elements: earth, air, fire and water. The Parshell also takes the shape of a four; as does the Celtic Cross, which is the cosmic wheel, representing the four seasonal positions of the sun — cosmic order — the four directions, elements and seasons.. If you dream about the number 4, you will soon be handed a lucky opportunity. Wearing a four may also bring you luck, wealth or prosperity. The number 4 and its equivalent geometrical shape, the square, also were considered to be sacred by ancient cultures that believed the world was flat.
