Winter Witch
This is the third in a series I am creating dealing with the parallelism between the lunar phases/ women’s ages/ menstrual cycle / and the 4 seasons.
WINTER WITCH: a period of destruction and transformation, an “obscure” phase corresponding to the black moon, the menstrual phase, the “Witch”.
The symbol above her head is the triple lunar goddess symbol….maiden, mother, crone (waxing, full, waning moon) Symbolizing feminine energy and psychic abilities.
The Triquetra symbol is incorporated as well.
