The Triple Goddess, or triple aspects of the Goddess were well known to the Celts. To the Irish Celts these aspects were represented by Anu or Danu as the Maiden, Badb as the Mother, and Macha as the Crone. Sometimes the Morrigu, who was in herself called triple, took the part of the Crone. To the Celts of Wales, the Maiden was Blodeuwedd, the Mother Arianrhod, and the Crone Cerridwen. Even in Arthurian times, we find the triplicity: Elaine as Maiden, Margawse as Mother, Morgan as Crone.
