| Arianrhod | represents the mother Arianrhod is the mother aspect of the triple Goddess. Arianrhod means Silver Circle (Arian meaning `silver', and Rhod meaning `wheel' or `disc'). She was Gwydions wife, and mother to both a sun god and a god of darkness. |
| The Morrigu | Morrigu (or Morrigan) represents the Crone aspect of the Goddess. She was a Celtic War Goddess who delighted in setting men at war. She fought in battles herself, and at times hovered like a crow over the warring men. She was represented as fully armed, carrying two spears in her hand. |
These three aspects of the Celtic goddess may have different names in different regions and regional legends. For example, Morrigan also takes the mother role at times.
