The God and Goddess
The Triple Goddess
First I would like to put an explanation up about the Triple Goddess.
“The triad is symbolized by the Maiden, Mother and Crone. The maiden symbolizes youth…the newness of life and magic. In human years she would be between puberty and her twenties. She does not yet have a mate. Her colors are soft and light, such as white, soft pink, or light yellow.”
“The Mother stands for nurturing, caring, fertility; she is a woman in the prime of her life and the peak of her power. …She would be seen as a woman in her thirties to mid forties. Her colors are warmer, such as green, copper, red, light purple, or royal blue.”
“The Crone is a being of age-old wisdom. She is shrewd and counsels well. She is logical and can be terrible in her vengeance. The Crone’s traditional colors are black, grey, purple, brown, or midnight blue.”
Raven Silver Wolf “To Ride a Silver Broomstick”.
I hope you can see the resemblance that the Triple Goddess has to one’s own life. First we are the young Maiden, then grow older and wiser into the Mother, and then into the wise Crone. Though the role of the Triple Goddess is more pronounced it is not more important than that of the role of the male. In Wicca they are equal with one another in power and importance.
The God
If you see pictures of The God he might have the antlers of a stag, or horns. This is NOT the devil. Since witches do not believe in the devil this makes no sense that they would be praising pictures of him, now would it? He is usually called “The Horned God”. He represents sexuality, vitality, power, logic, and the hunt. He is the eternal hunter and the animal that is hunted. His horns symbolize the crescent moon, which is the symbol of the Goddess.
