Trefoil

Like the Irish shamrock, it has a symbolic meaning, “the three‐in‐one mystery” as an author calls it. It crowned the head of Osiris, and the wreath fell off when Typhon killed the radiant god. Some see in it a phallic significance, but we deny this idea in Occultism. It was the plant of Spirit, Soul, and Life. (TG).
