Triple Goddess (Celtic Triple Goddess)

The conception of the goddess represented in three forms, the triple goddess, occurs in many legends of the old Celtic ancestors and is also present in the beliefs of many pagan groups.

In pagan religions, especially in the Wicca religion, the most important symbol used to represent the Goddess is the Moon itself.

In this way (where she is called the Triple Goddess), associating herself with the three visible phases of the Moon, she manifests herself in three ways:

 At the new/waxing moon, The Goddess is the Maiden (representing purity and the quest for knowledge).
 At the full moon, She is the Mother (representing power, protection and maternal affection).
 On the waning moon, She is the Ancient One (representing wisdom, knowledge and renewal).

These are its three different aspects.

The term triple goddess is infrequently used outside of Neopaganism to refer to triads of goddesses and singular historical goddesses of three forms or aspects. In common Neopagan usage, the three female figures are often described as the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone, each symbolizing both a separate stage in a female life cycle and a lunar phase, and often rule one of the earthly, underworld kingdoms. and the heavens. These aspects may or may not be perceived as aspects of a singular greater deity. The feminine part of Wicca's duotheistic theological system is sometimes portrayed as a Triple Goddess, with her masculine counterpart being the God Cernunno.
