Charmed and the Triple Goddess

[Greek_Male_Witch]

I just realized how the characters of Charmed (the tv show) works! I mean if I wasn't into Witchcraft I would never knew. So we got Phoebe who is the youngest so she represents the powers of the Maiden, We got Piper who is the middle sister and represents the Mother, and the Crone who was Prue, the oldest sister who always put the rules over everything! I know this is a stupid subject to post, but I just realized it and I like it that I could decipher the show's keys....amazing show though


***My opinion is based on the original cast***

Dont forget when Prue dies, Piper becomes the crone as well and yet the only mother figure....

yes the original 3 were made to represent maiden mother and crone.

the "new" three however dont. thought don't blame the producers/writers for it, the actress who played Prue left the show in a hunch because she didn't get along with her fellow sister cast mates, hence the need for Paige, and why we never actually saw Prue die.

Well yes I know that Prue left and thats why Paige introduced to us, but the original plan was the triple Goddess, this pattern "broke" when the actress left the show, and Piper escalates from middle, to older sister, and most powerful but also a mother, anyway....I also realize about the Triple Goddess, that she also represents phases of our lives!

Maiden:Love,Joy,Sex
Mother:Family
Crone:Great Wisdom

The phases of the goddess can be seen as the phases in a woman her life.

Maiden from birth till loss of virginity o/r till pregnancy
Mother Either after loss of virginity o/r till pregnant
Crone after the last menstral cycle
