Maiden Mother Crone Triple Goddess Candlestick
£14.66
Beautifully crafted candleholder in cast resin, with the look and feel of bronze. The figures of the triple goddess, the maiden, the mother and the crone form the body of the candleholder.
In modern Wicca and many Pagan religions, the Maiden is seen as the virginal young woman, or girl, who has not yet awakened. She represents new beginnings, youthful ideas and enthusiasm. She is associated with the waxing phase of the lunar cycle, as the moon grows from dark to full.
The Mother is the next phase in a woman's life. She is fertility and fecundity, abundance and growth, the gaining of knowledge. She represents sexual, social, and emotional fulfillment and is symbolised by the full moon. Springtime and early summer are her domain; as the earth becomes green and fertile, so does the Mother.
Finally, the Crone aspect is the final stage. She is the wise woman, the darkness of night, and eventually death. She is the waning moon, the chill of winter, the dying of the earth.
Together they represent the turning of the seasons, the phases of the moon and the course of feminine life experience, making them a powerful and life-affirming symbol.
The candleholder is 95mm tall by 65mm wide. That's 3 and 3/4 inches by 2 and 1/2 inches. There's a metal fitting in the top to take your candles. It'll fit any standard diameter dinner candle.
We have a selection of candle holders for dinner candles, pillars, votives and t-light candles. It is important to burn candles safely and in a secure holder.
- Always put candles on a heat resistant surface. Be especially careful with night lights and tea lights, which get hot enough to melt plastic. TVs are not fire-resistant objects.
- Put them in a proper holder. Candles need to be held firmly upright by the holder so they won’t fall over. The holder needs to be stable too, so it won’t fall over either.
- Position them away from curtains. Don’t put candles near curtains or other fabrics – or furniture. And keep them out of draughts.
- Don’t put them under shelves. It’s easy to forget that there’s a lot of heat above a burning candle. If you put it under a shelf or other surface then it can burn the surface. Make sure there’s at least three feet (one metre) between a candle and any surface above it.
- Keep clothes and hair away. If there’s any chance you could lean across a candle and forget it’s there, put it somewhere else. You don’t want to set fire to your clothes or your hair.
- Keep children and pets away. Candles should be out of reach of children and pets.
- Keep candles apart. Leave at least four inches (10cm) between two burning candles.
- Take care with votive or scented candles. These kinds of candles turn to liquid to release their fragrance, so put them in a glass or metal holder.
- Don’t move them when they’re burning. Extinguish candles before moving them. Also, don’t let anything fall into the hot wax like match sticks.
- Don’t leave them burning. Extinguish candles before you leave a room. Never go to sleep with a candle still burning. And never leave a burning candle or oil burner in a child’s bedroom.
- Use a snuffer or a spoon to put them out. It’s safer than blowing them, which can send sparks and hot wax flying.
- Double-check they’re out. Candles that have been put out can go on smouldering and start a fire. Make sure they’re completely out.
