The Triple Goddess is beautifully depicted, representing three phases of a woman's life. The Maiden emerges gently, like the Spring with the waxing crescent on her brow, full of promise, youth and vitality. Graced by the full moon, the Mother stands proud and enraptured. At the height of pregnancy, she is strong, fecund, and as abundant as Summer. The wise Crone bends below the waning crescent. Her staff serves as an affirmation of her authority as an elder rather than a sign of frailty. Her eyes twinkle with understanding and mischief. She is the brilliance of the Fall leaves before we pass into the dark of the year.
