Tríplice

The name “Triplice” emerges from a convergence of experiences in search of knowledge and from
a reflection on mythic concepts within a contemporary society.

The name Triplice originates from the “Triple Goddess,” a pagan goddess who represents the trinity and a matriarchal society. She is the feminine polarity of a whole through the archetypes: Crone, Mother, and Maiden, also characterized by the three visible phases of the moon. Bringing this idea to a micro and intrasubjective level: mental, emotional, and spiritual, and to another level, macro and intersubjective: social, political, and historical.

The Triple Goddess does not govern the world, because she is the very foundation of its origin. She is creation, maintenance, and destruction.

The Maiden

Life and sexuality emerge with spring, like the new moon not yet illuminated by the sun, still unaffected by cultural expectations linked to patriarchal concepts.
The natural essence of the feminino lies in what it values, not in being valued for what it is, because it possesses total freedom of choice to define itself. Its choice becomes the definition that remains immaculate, as it opts for secrecy, the secret of being.
Often represented by a virgin, not because of sexual abstinence but because of the freedom to be filled with oneself rather than with the other.

The Mother

The full moon illuminated by the sun, the hot and fertile summer, the warrior, lover, creator, also symbolized by nature, by the creation and the offering of life.
Contradictory in today’s times, the mother is the one who cares, whether internally or externally to the spirit, not limited only to a human image. Even when using human signs such as the umbilical cord, which can be understood as a bond, she is the one who does not condition us to remain tied in order to belong. Since life is made of relationships, giving is necessary for any act to occur. Whatever the intention may be, it requires leaving a part of oneself.

The Crone

“The act of the advising grandmother who weaves a cloak is like the weaving of life, whose cloak will not be hers but the next person’s.”

The waning moon loses its brightness, but it has already reflected everything the sun could offer.
Balance, knowledge, and wisdom complete the triad that becomes personified, because it has already been Maiden and Mother. It is winter, which even though it is a cold passage, can be warm if one knows how to light the fire. We live the end of our process of self knowledge, psychic maturation, the process of individuation, which makes this phase difficult. It is the end of a cycle and can be represented by transformation or renewal, rather than death understood as an end.

Cults to the Triple Goddess, specifically to the Mother Goddess, were common since the beginning of the human species, in the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. In theory, this was the phase that initiated the worship of goddesses and gods, whose cults expanded across several civilizations.

With the rise of theocentrism, this worship became a threat, giving rise to persecutions such as the tribunals of the Inquisition.

Polytheism was a threat within a patriarchal society structured through sexual and hierarchical organization. It was sustained by male domination in both private and public spheres, built upon a masculine model of domination and virility. Even more threatening to this model was the worship of goddesses, because it implied plurality, a transversal and enriching theme. However, within a centralized social construction, psychic and human development and experience would become problematic, as there would be no space for rigid hierarchy and we would instead be living in a cooperative and self managed system.

The Triplice is an archetype of the feminine psyche, figuratively an ideology that stands in opposition to the cult of disinformation and to beliefs and signs historically imposed upon the feminino as a product. Our Triplice lives a moment of transition when analyzing the historical macro context in which the power to act was taken from us in a society that believes power is possession. In reality, the greater the equality, the greater the empowerment, returning us to the primitive symbolism of gods and goddesses who, in paganism, were the foundation of creation rather than simply leaders.

We are Maidens, Mothers, and Crones. We, the feminino, who exist within this silent war.

We are living a contemporary mythology within a system that has conditioned us to inherent and involuntary forms of worship. But who is the feminine Goddess of this mythology?
