Triple Goddess Origin: Ancient or Modern?

Have you ever wondered about the true origins of the Triple Goddess? Is it really an ancient concept as commonly believed, or is there a more nuanced history to this iconic symbol of Paganism and Wicca? And what roles did key figures like Robert Graves and Jane Harrison play in the development of the modern Triple Goddess?

In this revealing video, we embark on a journey to answer these questions and more, as we debunk long-held myths and shed light on the true origins of the Triple Goddess – Maiden, Mother, Crone.

Who really shaped the Triple Goddess as we know it today? Was it an inherent part of ancient civilizations, or did it come to fruition much later in history? And how did the writings of scholars like Robert Graves and Jane Harrison influence our current understanding of this significant spiritual construct?

If you’re curious about spirituality, Paganism, Wicca, or just a history enthusiast looking to unravel mysteries, this video is an essential watch. Be prepared to challenge your preconceptions and gain a new perspective on the Triple Goddess.
