The Triple Goddess is a concept that originates from the Wiccan religion, a modern pagan witchcraft tradition. It represents the three aspects of the divine feminine - the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. Each aspect corresponds to a specific stage of a woman's life and has its own associations and attributes. The Maiden represents youth, innocence, and new beginnings. She is associated with spring, the element of air, and the waxing moon. The Maiden is often depicted as a young woman full of energy, curiosity, and exploration.

Introduction to Magic, Volume III
• Explores esoteric practices for individual development, handed down from a primordial tradition and discernable in alchemy, Hermetism, religious doctrines, Tantra, Taoism, Buddhism, Vedanta, and the pagan mysteries of the West
• Reveals the ultimate magical goal of the “Absolute Individual,” the immortal and divine potential that requires rare gifts and extraordinary efforts for its realization
This volume, the third in the series, complements the first two, yet they are not strictly sequential, and their contents can be read in any order. Volume III, more than the others, bears the personal stamp of Julius Evola. In its pages you’ll discover that the “magic” of the UR Group has nothing to do with sorcery or superstition. It was their term for an active and affirmative attitude toward individual development handed down from a “primordial tradition” and discernible in alchemy, Hermetism, esoteric religious doctrines, indigenous practices, Tantra, Taoism, Buddhism, Vedanta, and the pagan mysteries of the West. Its goal was the “Absolute Individual,” the immortal and divine potential that requires rare gifts and extraordinary efforts for its realization.
However, there is incalculable value in this volume even for the less heroic. By studying the practices and realizations within, the reader will be liberated from conventional dogmas--religious, political, scientific, and psychological--and see with the clearer eye of realization.

The Triple Goddess is revered and honored by many Wiccans, who seek to connect with the divine feminine energy and draw strength and inspiration from her different aspects..
