THE ARCHETYPE OF THE TRIPLE GODDESS

In the lore of the ancient matriarchy, the Goddess is often described
as the Triple Goddess. This stems from the Greek lore of Aphrodite,
wherein she was designated as the Virgin, the Matron, and the Crone.

The virgin Aphrodite was Pandemos. The Matron was Marina. And
the Crone was Urania, the Goddess of Universal Love.
