The Triple Goddess: Redondowriter Style

 

This is my version of what I'm calling the triple goddess. According to Wikipedia, a triple goddess is a term used to describe any goddess who appears as a triad. In ancient Indo-European mythologies, various goddesses or demi-goddesses appear as a triad, either as three separate beings who always appear as a group (the Greek Moirae, Charites, Erinyes and the NorseNorns) or as a single deity who is commonly depicted in three aspects (Greek Hecate and the cult image of Latin Diana Nemorensis, of whom Hecate is one part^[1]).

Often it is ambiguous whether a single being or three are represented, as is the case with the IrishBrighid and her two sisters, also called Brighid, or the Morrígan who is known by at least three or four different names. In most ancient portrayals of triple goddesses, the separate deities perform different yet related functions, and there is no obvious difference in their ages.

In Wicca and related Neopagan religions, the Triple Goddess is, along with the Horned God, held in particular reverence, and her three aspects are most often portrayed as being of different ages:Maiden, Mother and Crone.

It's not my intent to keep these funky ladies together. They will currently be in three separate rooms of the house and will probably ultimately be gifts. They are foam heads covered with a colored scarf, and then a net stocking over the face. Each has a necklace. I bought them this way at a garage sale for $4 each. I added my hats and then chopped up an old necklace I got in a garage sale free box to make their eyes. These are more examples of what I've started calling Fran's femmage.
