Triple Moon Symbol & Goddess

Hey Everyone!
So, I got this from Moonlight Magic on Facebook. They private messaged me this information about the Triple Moon Symbol and the Triple Moon Goddess: The Maiden, The Mother and The Crone.


TRIPLE MOON SYMBOL

The triple Moon symbol shows three phases of the Goddess in the Waxing Moon, the Full Moon, and the Waning Moon.

The Maiden represents enchantment, inception, expansion, the promise of new beginnings, birth, youth and youthful enthusiasm, represented by the waxing moon.

The Mother represents ripeness. Fertility, sexuality, stability, power and life represented by the full moon.

The Crone represents wisdom, repose, death and endings represented by the waning moon.



THE MAIDEN

It represents the waxing of the Moon - the youthful phase of a woman’s life.  In the cycles of Nature, the Maiden is associated with dawn, sunrise, and the Spring season.

She represents beauty, fresh potential and new life. In human beings, she is associated with the qualities of innocence, youth, self-confidence, intelligence and independence, and with activities relating to exploration, discovery, self-expression, and creativity. Wiccans may worship the Maiden in the form of the Greek goddesses Persephone and Artemis, the Celtic Rhiannon, and/or the Nordic Freya, among others.



THE MOTHER

At the Full Moon, the Maiden becomes the Mother, giving birth to all of the abundance on Earth. She is associated with midday, and her season is Summer, the most lush time of year, with forests and fields flourishing and young animals growing into maturity. In the human realm, she is associated with nurturing, responsibility, adulthood and the fullness of life.

As the giver of life, she is the aspect most associated with manifestation. In fact, the Mother is considered by many Wiccans to be the most powerful of the Goddess’ three aspects, and it was a “Mother Goddess” archetype that inspired Gerald Gardner’s vision of the divine feminine. Goddesses who represent the Mother at many Wiccan altars include the Greek Demeter and Selene, the Roman Ceres, and the Celtic Danu and Badb.



THE CRONE

As the Moon wanes and the darkness of the night sky grows, the Crone steps into her power. Called the “Hag” in earlier iterations of the Triple Goddess, she represents the post-childbearing years of life, and is associated with Autumn and Winter, sunset and night, and the winding down and ending of the growing season. The Crone is the wise elder aspect of the Goddess, and governs aging and endings, death and rebirth, and past lives, as well as transformations, visions, prophecy, and guidance.



TRIPLE GODDESS

The Triple Goddess is indeed a diverse and complex expression of the divine feminine.
For those who worship her, she provides constant opportunities to learn and grow through connecting to her three aspects. Whether you recognize ancient goddesses as aspects of the Triple Goddess, or simply honor the Maiden, Mother, and Crone archetypes, you can make a conscious effort to align your worship with the cycles of the Moon for an even deeper, more rewarding spiritual connection.










TRIQUETRA

The Triquetra is a celtic symbol that was used to represent the triple divinity (mother, daughter and grandmother). But in the modern wicca, [witch] the triquetra means Life, Death and rebirth of the 3 forces of the nature: Earth, Wind and Water. The circle around the Triquetra means the feminity and  fertility." By the way... It 's originally meant simply triangle or any three-cornered shape, but it has come to refer exclusively to a three-pointed figure composed of three overlapping “vesicae piscis” (the shapes formed by the intersection of two circles with the same radius), sometimes with an added circle in or around it.

The main reason why I added this in here because most folks associate this Triquetra symbol as the Triple Moon Goddess: The Maiden, The Mother and The Crone.

Daily Wicca:

WE'RE NOT EVIL
There is no evil in Paganism, Wicca or Witchcraft, We are Healers of the Earth, keepers of Ancient knowledge. We will not hide, we will stand tall and educate those who judge us based on ignorance. We are Witches, Pagans and Wiccans!
