In Wicca the Goddess is the mother the female aspect of the divine and is referred to as the goddess in triple aspect. The aspect of the goddess are Maiden, Mother and the crone and these aspects are attributed to the aspects of the moon the maiden is the waxing moon, the full moon the Mother and the waning moon is the crone.

Although the truth to me is that there are four aspects of the goddess and the fourth being the new or dark moon this aspect of the goddess, which is the mystery of the goddess where she can appear in any form, Maiden, Mother or Crone. This aspect is also referred to as the Dark goddesses these are goddess in rage like Demeter when she lost Persephone or Goddess whose realm is death and rebirth.

In Wicca the Triple aspect Goddess is referred to as the Queen of Heaven and is seen as a complete goddess a huntress whose relationships with the horned god (her son and lover) are played out in the Wheel of the year.

Some not all Wiccan will use ancient names and call the lady by name this is basically because the deity they have chosen to “Call” the lady is an archetype that embodies the values that they stand for. When this is done groups move from pure Wicca and in to a developing off shoot.

Although I was trained many years ago as Wiccan the Triple goddess imagery has changed for me her aspects have changed but she still remains the female force of the divine. I look back over many books of shadows and try to find the true Wiccan Idealist view of the goddess. But even in my notes and meditations the Lady was forming into a personal archetype.

The Triple Goddess is the archetypal Woman and her Mysteries the Maiden an Innocent young Girl filed with potential The Mother filled with child and the Procter and the crone baron but filled with knowledge.

The Triple Goddess is both a protector and a devourer she can be cruel and kind she is all women and all Goddess, as is old or young depending on here aspect she is considered to be a moon Goddess, All moon goddesses.

The origins of the Triple Goddess can be found in the writings of historian [wikipedia]Robert Graves [/wikipedia], Graves states that his Triple Goddess is the Great Goddess “in her poetic or incantatory character”, and that she has an incestuous relationship with her son, who is the God of the waxing and waning year, an idea that was to become central to initiatory Wicca.
