  The Mother (the full moon)
Represents Summer, fertility, fulfillment, giving, compassion, ripeness, stability, and power. She is the one who tenderly rocks the baby, but she is also the lioness who hunts to feed her offspring and will fight to the death to protect them. Her traditional colour is red.
The triple moon is a Goddess symbol that represents the Maiden, Mother, and Crone as the waxing, full, and waning moon. It is also associated with feminine energy, mystery and psychic abilities.  
The Maiden (the waxing moon)
Represents Spring, new beginnings, youth, enchantment, inception, excitement, and a carefree erotic aura. She is innocent in some ways, but also a seductress who recognizes the power of her sexuality. Her traditional colour is white.
  The Crone (the waning moon)
Represents Winter, wisdom, repose, and compassion. She is old age, experience, accumulated wisdom. She is the gateway to Death, and the guide to Rebirth. Her traditional colour is black.
