There have been various suggestions that interlace patterns form a sort of language. In the literal sense this is probably not true. Such a tradition would almost have to predate christianity, which brought its own form of literacy to the Isles. Not only is that unlikely due to the physical evidence, but even if it were so the Druidic and Scandinavian traditions alike avoided the use of written language for most purposes; our word "spell", which means both to write a thing or to enchant it, is a Saxon word that demonstrates how seriously these people took the act of writing - a creative act tied to the magic of poetry and to pure enchantment itself.
