Three Symbols, One Conversation
The Triple Goddess is one of the most enduring symbols in modern Wicca. Robert Graves gave it wide literary form in his 1948 work The White Goddess, drawing on older European moon deity traditions that associated the lunar cycle with three faces of the feminine divine: the Maiden (waxing moon, new beginnings), the Mother (full moon, fullness and creation), and the Crone (waning moon, wisdom and release). Goddesses like Hecate, Selene, and Diana were long understood in triadic form across Greek and Roman traditions, and Brigid in the Celtic world held a similar triple nature. The symbol itself – three crescents arranged around a full circle – compresses that entire theological lineage into a single glyph you can wear around your neck.
I pair that symbol here with the pentagram, and that pairing is not accidental. The upright five-pointed star enclosed in a circle has roots stretching from Pythagorean mathematics in the 6th century BCE through medieval Christian usage as a protective symbol, arriving in modern Wicca as the five elements – earth, air, fire, water, and spirit – held in balance. Gerald Gardner and Doreen Valiente helped establish the pentagram as the primary emblem of Wiccan practice in the mid-20th century, and it has carried that protective, elemental meaning ever since. When you place a Triple Goddess symbol inside or above a pentagram on a single piece of jewelry, you are stating something specific: divine feminine presence grounded in elemental structure. That is a complete ritual statement in miniature.
The amethyst setting is the third layer of the conversation. Amethyst is silicon dioxide (SiO2) in its violet crystalline quartz form, colored by iron impurities and natural irradiation during formation. On the Mohs scale it registers a 7, which means it holds up reliably to daily wear – harder than glass, softer than sapphire. In metaphysical tradition, amethyst is consistently associated with the crown chakra (Sahasrara), spiritual clarity, and psychic protection. Ancient Greeks called it amethystos – “not intoxicated” – and wore it as an amulet against both literal and spiritual excess. That resonance with protection and clear-headed spiritual awareness makes it a natural companion to the protective pentagram and the spiritually-oriented Triple Goddess. These three symbols belong together.
How to Wear and Work with Your Triple Goddess Pendant
Three simple steps to begin working with your Triple Goddess pentagram amethyst pendant.
- Set Your Intention
Hold the pendant in both hands and close your eyes. Think about what you are calling in – protection, spiritual clarity, or alignment with the triple goddess. Breathe slowly three times.
- Wear It at the Throat or Heart
Layer the pendant on a chain so it rests near your throat or heart chakra. At 11/16 inch it sits close to the skin without feeling heavy. Both placements work well for daily wear.
- Care for the Silver
Polish with a soft dry cloth when you notice dulling. Remove before swimming or using lotions. Store in a small pouch or jewelry box to slow tarnishing on the sterling silver setting.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry sterling silver jewelry from suppliers whose quality control I have tested personally over multiple orders. Sterling silver at .925 is a legal standard – 92.5% pure silver, 7.5% typically copper – and I verify that standard through the pieces themselves: weight, hallmark stamps, and how they hold up over time. I do not source from vendors whose silver turns green on your skin, and I have walked away from otherwise good suppliers when that happened. This pendant meets what I expect from .925 silver.
A size note worth stating plainly: 11/16″ is approximately 17.5mm across. That is roughly the diameter of a dime. It is a genuinely small piece – detailed enough to be beautiful up close, subtle enough not to dominate an outfit. If you are expecting something bold and statement-sized, this is not that. If you want something you can wear every day without it feeling like a costume, this is exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Triple Goddess represents the three phases of the moon – waxing, full, and waning – and the three aspects of the divine feminine: Maiden, Mother, and Crone. It is central to Wiccan theology.
In Wicca, the upright pentagram represents the five elements – earth, air, fire, water, and spirit – enclosed in a circle of unity. It is a symbol of protection and elemental balance.
Yes. Sterling silver is 92.5 percent pure silver and will oxidize with air and skin contact. This is normal. A quick polish with a soft cloth restores the shine. Avoid chlorine, lotions, and perfumes.
Amethyst is a variety of quartz with a Mohs hardness of 7, which makes it suitable for daily wear in a pendant setting. It resists scratching from most everyday contact but should be kept away from prolonged direct sunlight.
