The Mother

Hey there, hope everyone's having a great day. For tonight, I'd like to cover the Mother aspect of the Triple Goddess. Ideally, at this phase, the potential that was within the maiden has blossomed. Clearly, the Mother is linked to birth and nurturing. She also represents compassion, understanding, caring, forgiveness, receptiveness, and an open-mind to change. Like the maiden, the Mother too can have her darker side. She can express her beliefs and compassions in a self-serving way. This side of the mother limits the ability of others to live independently or to achieve their full potential.
