Triple Goddess (Neopaganism)

The triple goddess is a belief in some modern religions called neopaganism. In this belief, the goddess is seen as having three aspects or forms, which are often called maiden, mother, and crone.

The Maiden represents youth, new beginnings, wonder, and innocence. Think of her like a baby chick hatching out of an egg or a flower blooming for the first time.

The Mother represents nurturing, growth, strength, and fertility. Think of her like your own mom, who protects us and guides us as we grow older.

The Crone represents wisdom, experience, and completion, and is often associated with old age and death. Think of her like your grandma or great-grandma, who has lived a really long time and knows many things because of it.

Together, the three aspects represent the cyclical nature of life, as we are born, grow, and eventually die. The triple goddess is often seen as a symbol of the divine feminine energy and is worshiped in various forms by many Wiccans and other neopagan groups.
