The Maiden to me is the time of growth, learning and discovery.  When you have a need for these qualities work your magick with The Maiden.  To play with The Maiden sit and have a tea party, eat chocolate chip cookies and drop crumbs on the floor.  Go out in a field and gather daisies, braid them together in a chain and make a crown.

 
The Mother is the time of fertility, nurturing and teaching.  When you have a need for magick concerning these issues, turn to The Mother.  To honor The Mother pick her wildflowers and tie them with a pretty ribbon, make her pancakes and eat them in bed with her.
 

The Crone is the time of the Wise Woman she knows who she is, she has learned from her life.  She is power, she is strength, she is wisdom.  Turn to her when you need powerful wise magick, when you need guidance and advice.  To respect the Crone make a nice cup of tea, sit quietly and reflect on life and memories.

 
I like to work with all three, The Triple Goddess in her complete form.  For me this embraces all of Womanhood, all of Universe and all of wonder.
