Green Goddess Upright Crescent

The Upright Crescent Moon or Priestess Symbol usually with a pentacle or a full lunar disc at its centre is a symbol of the priestess. Glowing with reflected light, the Moon represents light within the darkness, and is associated with the female divine energy. Lunar energy offers us the ability to connect with the flowing powers of magic and mystery and our powers of psychic perception and intuition. As it waxes and wanes and is reborn anew, the Moon brings us the potential to connect with our own ability to rejuvenate our lives. The phases of the Moon are associated with the Triple Goddess. In my path the Moon correlates with 4 phases of the Goddess - Maiden (first crescent to 1st quarter), Mother (1st quarter to full) ; Matron (Warrior Woman) ( full to 3rd quarter) and Crone (3rd quarter to dark). Many female deities have some lunar connection, but these Goddesses and Gods are especially lunar: Selene, Artemis, Diana, Isis, Thoth, Hecate.
