Triple Goddess

The Triple Moon Goddess symbol represents the Maiden, Mother, and Crone as the waxing, full, and waning moon.

This symbol is associated with feminine energy, mystery, and psychic abilities

In many modern Pagan traditions, the triple goddess in the form of Maiden/Mother/Crone is honored. She is seen as the feminine counterpart to the Horned God, the female who provides polarity to the male essence. There are several styles of the Lunar Triple Goddess symbol.

In modern Wicca, and many Pagan religions, the Maiden is seen as the young woman who has not yet awakened. She is all about enchantment and new beginnings, youthful ideas and enthusiasm. She is associated with the waxing phase of the lunar cycle, as the moon grows from dark to full.

The Mother is the next phase in a woman's life. She is fertility, abundance and growth, the gaining of knowledge. She is fulfillment -- sexual, social, and emotional -- and she is represented by the full moon. Springtime and early summer is her domain; as the earth becomes green and fertile, so does the Mother.

The Crone aspect is the final stage. She is the wise woman, the darkness of night, and eventually death. She is the waning moon, the chill of winter, the dying of the earth.
