Triple Goddess Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Followers of the Wiccan religion, as well as some archeologists and mythographers, believe that long before the coming of Christianity, the Triple Goddess embodied the three-fold aspect of Gaia, the Earth Mother (Roman Magna Mater). Gaia was worshipped under a variety of names not only in the Ancient Near East and the Aegean and Anatolia, but also in pre-Islamic Arabia.The three aspects of the goddess are The Maiden (Greek Persephone), pure and a representation of new beginnings; The Mother (Greek Demeter), wellspring of life, giving and compassionate; and The Crone (Greek Hecate) wise, knowing, a culmination of a lifetime of experience. These aspects may also represent the cycle of birth, life and death (and rebirth).
Wiccans also claim historical antecedent for their beliefs, holding that in Old Europe, in the Aegean world, and in the most ancient Near East, the Triple Goddess preceded the coming of nomadic speakers of Indo-European languages. In South Arabia the moon-god Hubal was accompanied by the three goddesses, Uzza the youngest, al-Lat ("the Goddess") and Manat the crone, the three cranes.
Other trifold goddesses are associated with the Triple Goddess, such as the Moirai, the Wyrd Sisters, the Morrigan or even the Furies. More than anything, though, she is the personification of all women everywhere.
Descriptions of the relation between Greek Mythology and the Triple Goddess can be found in many of the myths translated in Robert Graves' anthology The Greek Myths and more cryptically in his book The White Goddess.
