Triple Goddess Mandala by Marg Thomson

The Maiden, The Mother and The Crone

From the original acrylic on 100cm x 100cm canvas. Metallic and glitter overlays…

I started this mandala the week before one of my close girl friends was diagnosed with lung cancer and finished four months later – the week after she died. It was a hugely cathartic work and the three phases of the goddess reflect the changes in me over the years. I have been the warrior maiden; mothered my child and have entered into the spiritual crone phase of my life…

This is a work in progress. Every year I add something to the picture as it reflects my journey through this life.

Bright Blessings to all:)

    Interesting piece – I like the further compartmentalization of the trinity through use of the triskele. Interesting Celtic/Pagan Connections there.

  • Anne  McGinn

    Anne McGinn

    This is brilliant and so very tender … I love the triple goddess image … for we embody all of them…. I too am in my crone stage….but I feel like such a child much of the time! I guess she will always be with me…. lovely work

  • fullcirclemand... replied

    The child within us all will play forever if we simply allow her to. And that is a blessing:) My spiritual crone (not quite in the physical yet lol) has been with me for a number of years now, but the mother aspect is still present and strong. I find myself on the cusp of them all and can now appreciate the further meaning of the triskele balanced centre -

    we can walk in all aspects of the goddess, not just stay confined to one…

    thank you for your beautiful comment Anne:)
