Triple Goddess Symbol Revealed

One of my favorite people and deck creator of the Disassembled Tarot, Jennifer Steidley, invited me to have a chat with her on an instagram live this week about the Triple Goddess symbol.

Here are some highlights to consider the next time you see this symbol on a shirt, a tattoo, jewelry, or hanging from the wall of a New Age shop.

The triple goddess symbol represents the three phases of life through the feminine divine. Maiden is the waxing moon, Mother is the full moon, and Crone is the waning moon.

I prefer to call this Maiden, Mother, Matriarch, because alliteration is pretty and I don’t know many women who want to be called a crone these days.
