Tuning into Your Priestess Power

The Three Triple Goddess Archetypes

The Triple Goddess is a goddess or deity archetype that is celebrated in many Neopagan faith/spiritual traditions. In common Neopagan usage, the Triple Goddess is a trinity of three different aspects/figures who are bound together as one. These three people are often referred to as the Maiden, Mother, and Crone, each representing a distinct phase in the female life cycle and a phase of the moon.

What is the Maiden Archetype?

The Maiden archetype is a young woman who is fresh, pure, and full of possibilities. She represents new beginnings, hope, and potential. The Maiden is often associated with nature, and she embodies the qualities of innocence, curiosity, and wonder. She is also a symbol of transformation, as she is often seen as a catalyst for change. The Maiden is a reminder that we are all capable of growth and that anything is possible if we dare to dream. The Maiden Archetype often appears in stories as a young woman who is on a journey of self-discovery. She is usually accompanied by a wise mentor/guide who helps her to navigate challenges. The Maiden's journey is one of growth and transformation, and she ultimately emerges as a stronger, wiser version of herself.

Those who lean towards the archetype of the Maiden are often adored. The Maiden is often seen as dominant/commanding when fully manifested—however, it can also present a passive attitude in women. The Maiden is the archetype many young women go through while discovering who they are and is often celebrated due to their youth and beauty. Unfortunately, by putting the Maiden on a pedestal, the archetype of the Crone is usually seen as less than.

The Maiden archetype is found in many different cultures and mythologies. In Greek mythology, Maidens were known as the Muses – goddesses who inspired creativity and artistry. In Celtic mythology, the Virgin Goddess, Brigid, was a symbol of fertility and new life. In Native American mythology, the Maiden is often represented by the Great Spirit, a powerful force that is both creative and destructive.

What is the Crone Archetype?

The Crone archetype is a woman who is in touch with her inner wisdom and can see things from a different perspective. She is often seen as a mentor/teacher and deeply understands the natural cycle of life. The Crone is a wise woman who has lived through many experiences and has learned from them. The Crone archetype is associated with death/rebirth, and is often seen as a guide to those transitioning into a new phase in life. The Crone is a powerful figure who represents the end of the old ways and the start of new beginnings. She is a reminder that change is inevitable and that we must embrace it to move forward.

While there is nothing wrong with admiring the youth/beauty of a woman, their wisdom/experience should not be overlooked. A wise woman has a lot to offer the world, especially concerning the well-being of the young. Women who fall into the archetype of the Crone are seen as competent, accomplished, powerful, and ambitious, qualities that should be admired.

What is the Mother Archetype?

The Mother archetype embodies everything that is nurturing, caring, and selfless. She is the one who gives unconditionally and deeply cares for her loved ones. The Mother archetype is often associated with the earth/nature because she is the one who sustains life. The Mother archetype is also often seen as a protector/guardian, always ready to defend the people closest to her. The Mother archetype is a powerful force for good in the world, representing hope, love, and compassion. Similarly to the Crone, the Mother archetype does not seem to hold much value to today's society.
