(Note: I did note see a forum on symbolism, so I apologize if this is not in the right place)

alright, I'm having the hardest time finding info on this symbol, supossedly it represents trinity (I can see that), divinity, and the danger of being unbalanced, especially in the form of good and evil (or light and dark)....

and I saw a claim that if viewed in 4d (maybe it was a typo, 3d? because I can't imagine what 4d would look like, how would you know?) and laid/displayed a certain way, it will make a pentagram..... not sure if thats true or not but I want to see it :lol:

but yeah, any information would be awesome :)

even if it's just theory, it's better than nothing I gues.

the above link suggests that it is an ancient Germanic sign.

i also found this page..

^^ it says that it is an ancient Celtic protective symbol.

I don't have any information for you, but I want to say the fourth dimension has something to do with time. There was something about it in "A Wrinkle in Time".

I thought this was going to be a discussion of Stephen King's book by that name ;)

basically saying the same thing as the first link i post originally.
i think symbols.com is a pretty reliable place for definitions of symbol meanings.

I't probably is Germanic, as it seems thats what most of the sites say....

but some mention in meaning celtic, and none of them really give a background to it.

and I wish I could see that 4d, thing, (or maybe it was meant to be 3d?)
