TRIPLE GODDESS SYMBOLISM
The concept of the Great Goddess as The Triple Goddess, young woman (Maiden), birth-giving matron (Mother), and an old woman (Crone), dates from the earliest ages of mankind. This concept was embraced by many different mythologies from many different parts of the world. The Vikings had the Norns (Urdu/Verdandi/Skuld), the Romans had the Fortunae (Concordia/Salus/Pax), the Druids had Diana Triformis, the Greeks had the Moirae, Graeae, Horae, etc.
Mother, Maiden, Crone attributes are also ascribed to the three phases of the moon:
the Maiden, which corresponds to the new moon;
the Mother, which corresponds to the full moon;
and the
Crone, which is the waning moon.
