Last day of 29 FACES! Thank you Ayala for hosting this wonderful and inspiring challenge! I enjoyed it vey much!
For this last post I wanted to "merge" the two challenges.
This is not my entry for the first week of 13 Goddesses, but it wants to be an introduction to this subject that I've been loving for all my life.
You can start creating your first Goddess right now (read the rules to know which is the first one). On Monday, March 6th you'll be able to link it in my dedicated post. Take your time and have fun!

Now a short intro.
The Triple Goddess
In ancient times and now in Neopaganism the Triple Goddess was a group of three goddesses who represented the three stages of life and the three phases of the Moon:
- Maiden: Youth - Waxing Moon.
- Mother: Fertility - Full Mon
- Crone: Old Age - Waning Moon
They were aspects of the Great Goddess.
In Ancient Greece the Triple Goddess was represented by Kore (Maiden), Persephone (Mother) and Hecate (Crone). In Celtic (Welsh) myths they were Blodeuwedd (Maiden), Arianrhod (Mother) and Ceriddwen (Crone). There are many other examples of Triple Goddesses in many cultures.
Here I have chosen to represent them in their "global" way.
You'll find many info about his subject and mythologyin the following books:

ReplyDeleteI live in the spaces of the Triple Goddess. your graphic of their depiction is a tattoo just below my throat chakra - but all black filled in. My small forehead tattoo is Hecate's crescent - I'm happy to have found your blog and thank you for your lovely comment on the post about my sister.
