Carved Soapstone with Triple Moon design 3" diameter

The Goddess and God are often depicted in one of three forms - the Triple Aspect. The Triple Aspect is a way for us to understand the three major stages of human life, as well as the natural cycles i.e. sewing, growing, harvest. In the feminine aspect this is known as the Maiden, Mother and Crone, and is often depicted by the Triple Moon symbol.

Maiden
This aspect represents youth and innocence. The Maiden is hopeful, optimistic and has a desire to change the world for the better. She is associated with the season of spring and the waxing moon.

Mother
The Mother represents nurturing and fertility. Knowledge and experience lead her to encourage forethought in her plans and actions. She is associated with summer and the full moon.

Crone
The Crone is free from the drive to change the world or reproduce. She represents wisdom and completion. She understands the events that she has accomplished. She is associated with winter and the waning moon.
