Just like Goddesses, we have stages. We are going to be exploring the stages of the female life cycle. In the second stage, you have adulting, the Mother stage. In this stage, the mind is filled with imagination and exploration. We are going to be connecting with our inner mother Goddess. In many Wiccan practices, the Goddess is worshiped in triplicate, made up of three forms: the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. These archetypes are sometimes depicted as three life phases of a single goddess paralleling the phases of the moon Waxing Moon, Full Moon, and Full Moon. The triple goddess has been worshiped since humans have been on this planet. Throughout ancient Greek, Roman, and Celtic pantheons, you can find the different forms of the Goddess. In some pantheons the triple Goddesses were depicted as siblings, or as three separate goddesses united as one, or as three life stages of the same deity. The Mother phase of life corresponds with the Full Moon. The Mother is in the summer of her life, she is protective, and filled with abundance. This stage is full of life and potential to come. The motherhood stage is a stage where the mind is overwhelmed with nurturing energy. The Mother energy should be called upon for any magick that you need abundance and love. Rituals for receiving clarity, fertility, inspiration, and guidance for your spiritual growth magick. The Triple Goddess echos a woman’s life cycle and embodies the many aspects of her life. In the second stage, you have adulthood, the mother stage. In this stage, the mind is filled with imagination and exploration. In this maiden stage, your state of being is in constant play and exploring nature. This stage of a young lady's life is often when they find a consort, gets married, and have children. In this stage, a woman is taking her fertility energy to another level. She is yearning for sexual, social, and emotional connections. The desire for this connection manifests itself often by embracing the mentor or mothering role. It is important to know that the Mother aspect of both the Goddess and a woman is not just about having biological children. Physical changes start changing with our hormones starting to develop. Women's life stages are based on the reproductive cycle, beginning with menstruation and ending with menopause. Every month, an egg is released from the ovary during ovulation. It travels down the fallopian tube, where it might be fertilized by a sperm. If fertilized, it implants in the lining of the uterus causing pregnancy. The body goes through hormonal changes during pregnancy. In addition to mood changes, there are also other changes like sore breasts, cervical changes, changes in the hair, skin, and nails, and weight gain. Understand how healthy lifestyle choices can help you feel your best at any stage. It is also important to know when to ask your doctor for additional suggestions. Herbs associated with the Mother are: Black Cohosh, licorice, Ashwagandha, evening primrose, Damiana, cinnamon, Milk Thistle, daisy, Dong Quai, raspberry leaf, nettle, hibiscus. The crystals associated with the Mother are Carnelian, rose quartz, moonstone, green tourmaline, Lepidolite, carnelian, Unakite, silver, and clear quartz. Carrying with you connects you with Mother Goddess's energy. Mother Goddesses include: The seeds of life inside my womb were present at my birth, a gift from mother's mother, on back to Mother Earth.

As a mom of three boys who go to public school I started to notice that some things were not being taught in detail so I decided to create lessons for them. Many of these lessons cover science, history and of information about Paganism. I share crafts for the all different holidays and cultures as ways that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
