The Goddess

The Archetypal female deity. Our beautiful Goddess has many faces, 

and many names. Whether you call her Kali, Demeter, Mary, or

Cerridwen, you are still meeting her and touching that same source of life.

The two main Goddess attributes are the EARTH GODDESS and the

SKY GODDESS.

The Earth Goddess is the female face of nature, Mother Earth, who

is often known by her Greek name Gaia, who gave birth to

all of creation and who is loving & nurturing. Yet she is not without

her dark aspect as well.

The Sky Goddess, patroness of magic and divination, is often

pictured as a Moon Goddess. It is undeniable that the Moon has

a strange effect on our emotions. Its connection with madness is

hinted at in the word “lunatic”. But it is also a very powerful tool to

use in connecting with the magickal old brain. The Moon

Goddess is often known as the “Triple Goddess”.

Just as the moon has three faces NEW, FULL and DARK of MOON;

so the TRIPLE GODDESS has three faces: the MAIDEN, the

MOTHER, and the CRONE. These faces symbolise the three stages

of a woman’s life: Maiden (waxing phase), Mother (full moon),

Crone (waning phase). These can be considered as the young

girl full of promise, the nurturing mother, and the wise old lady.   

Different goddess names can be linked to the various

stages. For instance Artemis the Huntress, young, energetic yet

hardly kind might be linked with the Maiden. Hecate is The

Crone. She is also the Dark Moon Goddess.
