Mother

The threefold Goddess: Meditations on Maiden, Mother, Crone and Hag

The mother obviously corresponds to the woman during pregnancy and after childbirth, as long as she looks after her children. This can be quite literally, but it can also be metaphorically, a person taking on responsibility, creating projects, caring for the execution, organising things etc. The mother is the woman with attachments, with dependants and responsibilities, and she nurtures others, cares for them. It is through the mother that the earth, the world is fertile, that new things, new ideas spring forth.
A mythological example is Demeter, who despairs when her daughter Persephone is taken from her, and wanders the world searching for her. The moon correspondence is the full moon, so we will travel there this week.
