The Triple Goddess: Symbol & Meaning of the Maiden, Mother, Crone
You’ve likely seen the Triple Goddess symbol associated with 🌒🌕🌘 But did you know that the concept of a triple goddess can be traced back to a number of ancient civilizations throughout the world?
we will explore who exactly is this mysterious figure, the Triune Goddess: Maiden, Mother and Crone.
It’s believed that the triple goddess has been worshiped since before recorded history. We can trace the worship of triple goddesses back to ancient as the Greek, Roman, and Celtic pantheons,and more
the Goddess is worshiped in triplicate, made up of three forms: the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. These archetypes are are sometimes depicted as three life phases of a single goddess paralleling the phases of the moon (Waxing Moon, Full Moon, and Waning Moon).
The maiden-mother-crone archetype of the Triple Goddess is meant to echo a woman’s life cycle and the many aspects that she embodies in her lifetime. These three phases also represent the passing of a year and the cycle of seasons or Wheel of the Year. A practitioner may call upon these archetypes to aid in their magical practices.
some people see the gods and goddesses as individual entities, while others prefer to see them as manifestations, faces, or “aspects” of one universal being. Some people see all gods as one God and all goddesses as one Goddess, and yet some others see them not as beings but archetypes. Your personal path may vary from other practitioners.
Maiden
This first phase of life corresponds with the Waxing Moon, represented with a crescent moon symbol 🌒. It is a time of youthful hope – energy is quickly gathering, much like the years of a young maiden slowly creeping up to claim her youth.
The maiden is in the springtime of her life, embodying beauty, innocence, curiosity, and self-expression. The maiden is free to play without judgment, to express her creativity boundlessly, and to leap without fear into the unknown.
Mother
The mother archetype is embodied by the Full Moon 🌕, round and ripe with child. She is ever doting and protective, blessing us with abundance in the summer months. Much like the summertime, she is full of life and potential.
Crone
The crone is a wise matriarch, mysterious and intimidating, yet imparting her divine intuition to her people. The symbol of the Waning Moon 🌘 represents this facet of the triple goddess, sharing her boundless wisdom with the next generation as she settles into a more restful state of being at the winter of her life.
There also a phase of the moon 🌚 that is hidden from our sight A Black Moon is a special kind of Moon phase. The naming convention can be more easily understood when you recall that a new Moon occurs when the Moon is situated directly between the Sun and Earth. Because the lunar surface is visible only when it reflects light from the Sun, it seems to have disappeared from our vantage. The Moon is still there, she’s just too dark for us to see. By extension, when a black Moon is present, we experience more dark nights in a month than usual Although a black Moon could be regarded as nothing is more than a “double dose” of new Moon energy, somewhere Dancing between The New Moon Energy and the Goddess Crone wisdom. the black moon is considered to be a special time when any rituals, spells, or other workings are considered to be more powerful and effective, inner work it actually there that most transformation occurs . it actually a very important aspect of sacred feminine to truely understand the feminine realm and her importance among the immaterial , it ain’t because we can’t perceive it with our 5 basics sens that isn’t there ! she is rule the 6 sens because it always been here realm !
