The Triple Goddess symbol is the first in our Top Spiritual Symbols series. It is comprised of a waxing crescent, full moon, and a waning crescent. This symbol’s roots and profound meaning go deeper than many may expect. The triple moon is a Goddess symbol that represents the Maiden, Mother, and Crone as the waxing, full, and waning moon.

It is also associated with feminine energy, mystique, and psychic abilities. You often see this symbol on crowns or other head-pieces, particularly worn by High Priestesses. The Maiden represents enchantment, inception, expansion, the female principle, the promise of new beginnings, youth, excitement, and a carefree erotic aura. The Maiden in Greek Mythology is Persephone, best known for her purity. Other maiden goddesses include Brigid, and Nimue among others.
The Mother represents ripeness, fertility, fulfillment, stability, and power. The Mother Goddess in Greek mythology is Demeter, who represents the wellspring of life, bountifulness, and compassion. Other mother goddesses include Aa, Ambika, Ceres, Astarte, and Lakshmi. The Crone represents wisdom, rest, and compassion. The Crone in Greek mythology is Hecate – wise, knowing, the culmination of a lifetime of experience. Crone goddesses include: Hel, Maman Brigitte, Oya, Sedna, Skuld, and others. These aspects may also represent the cycle of birth, life and death (and rebirth). Neopagans believe that this goddess is the personification of all women everywhere. Wiccans often work with the Goddess in her triple form but may sometimes look at a particular goddess as Maiden, Mother or Crone.
An example of this would be the goddess Hecate, who was originally depicted as three maidens when in triplicate form or just as an elderly woman in later times. The Wiccan Triple Goddess is typically represented by three separate deities, each being a facet of the Goddess in her own right. These may be borrowed from one or more ancient cultures. For example, many worship Diana (Roman) as the Maiden, Isis (Egyptian) as the Mother, and Kali (Hindu) as the Crone. These designations are rooted in the individual deities’ roles within the cultures they are borrowed from. Isis, for instance, was a mother goddess in ancient Egypt. Each aspect within the Triple Goddess is associated with each its own season and other natural phenomena, as well as human characteristics and elements of life on Earth. These associations can be used to call on the appropriate aspect of the Goddess during magical work, ritual worship, and prayer.
