Concerning the choice as the Triskell - or Triskele, or Triskellion - as mythological subject: the whole Celtic tradition is definitely mythological. The fact that druids existed doesn't change the fact that their "magical powers" were in fact just another kind of religious power, and that around their traditions many a legend were born. The Triskell was the symbol that the Celts used the most in their decorations, mostly because it was the symbol of their chief god and of the sun, and was used both as a generic religious symbol - much as the cross for Cristians - and as a good luck charm.
This symbol is now interpreted and used as a generic symbol for the whole Celtic mythology and culture, and thus I think it fits the theme of the competition. I could handily rename it Stonehenge or Druidic Circle in a pinch, but I think the Triskell has deserved its place in mythological culture as much as many other symbols.
