andWe are delighted to bring you the first of the Maiden Mother Crone Conversations on the Spring Equinox
Maiden Mother Crone Podcast
Spring Equinox: Beginnings, Creativity & Womanhood
LISTEN NOW
We are three women, Alisha, Aoibhín and Josie, who represent the three stages in a woman’s life: Maiden, Mother and Crone. These are ancient archetypes, and the three forms of the triple goddess, whose qualities we hold within us.
In these conversations we will delve into
the meanings of each archetype: Maiden, Mother and Crone
the societal expectations surrounding them
the importance of reclaiming and celebrating these identities
our personal experiences and insights related to each stage of womanhood
Beginning
We two women met on Substack in July last year, in
’s Soul Circle and immediately connected across the Celtic Sea, in West Wales and in the East of Ireland.By the Autumn Equinox, we knew we would create something together.
The seed was planted.
With the coming of Spring, we invited Alisha, Josie’s granddaughter, to join us and Maiden, Mother, Crone was born.
We are all deeply rooted in the Celtic West of these Islands. The land and mythology are important to us, indeed they are part of us, as we are part of them, and will flow through our words and into your ears.
Alisha Teasdale is a final year student of dance in Falmouth University. She brings the energy of the Maiden to our conversations.
The Maiden represents youth, new beginnings, the start of the growing season, enchantment, the waxing of the moon. She is the first form of the goddess, Brigid, or Branwen in our Celtic tales. She is the vibrant energy of life.
is a writer, a women’s health physiotherapist and a mum to three living children and three babies who did not make it to this world. She is the one who represents the Mother in our trio.
The Mother is the origin, the source, the bearer of life, the sustainer and nourisher. The Mother is the second form of the goddess, Danu or Don, she represents fertility, power, ripeness and the luminous beauty of the full moon.
is a an author and poet, meditator, business woman, mother and grandmother. She proudly takes on the mantle of the Crone.
The Crone symbolizes maturity, wisdom, repose, death, endings and the waning moon, she is the third form of the goddess, the Cailleach, the Morrigan, Ceridwen. The Crone has transmuted the blessings and challenges of life into the light of wisdom. She has the ability to see far, and look into the spaces between worlds.

Oh Nikki, thank you for your lovely words. And how wonderful that you resonated with all three. That has been the most interesting aspect for me, that I have much more in common with the Crone and the Maiden than I thought I would, yet somehow much to learn from them too.
I really enjoyed listening to this conversation. I found it so interesting as I am at a stage in life where I am transitioning quite literally from mother and embarking on the journey to crone. Our third child has just left home and I’ve just gone through the menopause.
I also only wear barefoot shoes, but not the duck feet kind. I only discovered them in my late 40’s so I have several pairs of quite normal looking ones.
I thank the three of you wise ladies for your wisdom and love that I could relate to you all in so many ways. Look forward to listening to the next conversation xxx
