Triple Moon

The Triple Moon is one of the most recognisable symbols in modern witchcraft. Often seen on altars, jewellery, and ritual tools, it represents the three phases of the moon and the three stages of womanhood: Maiden, Mother, and Crone. For beginners, understanding the Triple Moon is a beautiful way to connect with both lunar cycles and the flow of life itself.

What Does the Triple Moon Symbol Mean?

The Triple Moon symbol shows three lunar phases side by side: a waxing crescent, a full moon, and a waning crescent. Together, they illustrate the rhythm of growth, fullness, and release — a cycle reflected in the natural world and within ourselves.

• Waxing Moon (Maiden) – Symbolises youth, beginnings, curiosity, and growth. A time for new projects, hope, and fresh energy.

• Full Moon (Mother) – Represents fertility, nurturing, abundance, and manifestation. A time of power, strength, and bringing intentions to fruition.

• Waning Moon (Crone) – Reflects wisdom, endings, release, and transformation. A time for rest, reflection, and letting go of what no longer serves.

Why the Triple Moon Matters in Witchcraft

For witches, the Triple Moon is more than a symbol — it’s a reminder of balance. Life is not only about growth and abundance; endings and rest are just as sacred. By honouring all three phases, you embrace the full cycle of existence.

It also reflects the connection between human life and the natural world. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too do our energies, relationships, and experiences.

How to Work with the Triple Moon Symbol

• On Your Altar – Place a Triple Moon symbol on your altar to honour lunar energy and the divine feminine.

• Meditation Focus – Use the symbol as a meditation tool, focusing on which phase speaks most to you right now.

• Jewellery & Amulets – Wearing the Triple Moon helps keep lunar magic close to you throughout the day.

• Rituals & Spellwork – Align your spells with the lunar phase that matches your intention: beginnings with waxing, manifestation with full, release with waning.

Everyday Connections

Working with the Triple Moon doesn’t have to be elaborate. You might light a candle during the waxing moon to spark motivation, charge crystals under the full moon, or journal what you’re ready to release during the waning phase. Each small act keeps you in rhythm with lunar cycles.

A Symbol of Power & Renewal

For beginners and experienced witches alike, the Triple Moon is a timeless reminder of transformation. It holds the wisdom of the past, the energy of the present, and the hope of the future — all in one flowing cycle. By working with it, you step into harmony with the moon, the seasons, and yourself.

Blessed be!
