Origin & Lore

This oil is made for devotion to the White Goddess, the lunar mother goddess that a famous 1948 study by an English poet placed at the root of European myth and poetry. That book had a deep influence on modern Wicca and goddess spirituality, which took up the White Goddess as the triple moon: maiden, mother and crone.

Pale, lunar and threefold, the White Goddess is the moon who rules birth, love and death, and she has shaped modern witchcraft more than almost any other image.

The White Goddess as a single great lunar mother was a twentieth-century poetic idea rather than an ancient doctrine, but it drew on real figures: Greek Selene and Hecate, Roman Diana, and the Welsh Cerridwen with her cauldron of inspiration. Early Wiccan writers adopted the triple goddess of maiden, mother and crone as the heart of their theology.
