One of the most famous soulmate myths may be the Greek one. Legend says that humans had two heads, four arms, and four legs, and they were divided into two by Zeus’s command. Nowadays, we pitifully roam around the world until we find that other human being who will complement us perfectly.
Another one is the Celtic legend that says that two beings were born from the same soul. Those souls detached from each other, and as a result, they feel the pain of loss and miss their other half.
They were born together and learnt how to love each other, but now they suffer, having to solve the problems and difficulties they encounter in life on their own. Similar to the Greek story, in the Celtic fable, every soul wanders lonely around the world and must learn alone. All the experiences will make it grow and the more knowledge acquired, the more divine development they’ll have.
Each soul searches for the other one, and during the time they’ve been apart, they’ve learnt enough to live together again, so their love will bloom. In the Celtic tradition the important thing is to meet again. It could be for an unperceived instant, forever, or maybe never, not even crossing paths again; but it doesn’t matter as they are sure that in a future life they will be reunited.
To find out if your partner is your soul mate, Celts advise to look on top of his or her left shoulder and if you perceive a blueish violet flame, you can rest assured that person is the right one. This will only happen once in a lifetime, so letting them go would be an irreparable mistake.
The soulmate theory isn’t only for lovers. It can be applied to best friends, those humans who are always, unconditionally there to make us smile, give the best advice during hard times, and love with an intensity we wouldn’t be able to feel for anyone else.
If you found someone like this, your best friend, your brother, or your lover, and you know you’ll always be together, you can mark this friendship for the rest of your life with one of the designs below.
It can be a little touch, like these discrete triangles, symbolizing past, present, and future.
Your heartbeat shaped as a heart will show how strongly you beat for each other
You can also copy a tattoo that your partner already had!
The sun and the moon are a perfect combination to represent your happiest and most romantic moments.
Always, darling.
Choose a minimalist design that both of you adore
Oxytocin and serotonin are the ideal match for love chemistry; they can also be the ingredients that keep you two together.
In life there are unbreakable promises, like the one you made with your best friend to never, ever, end your friendship.
If there is something you both are crazy about, like food… make it your own and laugh about it every time you look at it
You can also choose a similar tattoo that symbolizes your spirit animals.
A lucky bone that will be with you in all those unforgettable moments
Or you may prefer a spiritual sign like the Hamsa.
If you love photography, this can be a good option to always remember your passion
A cheesy option can be a tattoo of dinosaurs walking together.
Two arrows that point to their direction.
The heart that only your partner complements
A compass rose that will show you, you are in the right place
A delicious or meaningful fruit can be the best complement to your days together
A patterned bracelet with a special connexion can elegantly decorate your bodies
The red ribbon legend tells us that the souls destined to be together will be connected no matter how taut or invisible the thread uniting them will be; it is an ancient symbol of romance.
If you don’t doubt an inch of your love, you can express it on your skin forever… only those that really love their match would dare to do it.
