Maternity Symbols

Eternal and universal

Bowl

This symbol is also often referred to as the Cup. In paganism, the bowl symbolizes water, the female element. The cup resembles a female womb and is therefore considered a symbol of the goddess of the womb and female reproductive function in general. This is a symbol that covers everything related to fertility, the female gift for bearing and creating life, female intuition and extrasensory abilities, as well as the subconscious. In Christianity, the chalice is a symbol of Holy Communion, as well as a vessel with wine, symbolizing the blood of Christ. However, modern symbols support the chalice as a symbol of a woman's womb, which is not much different from the beliefs of practicing non-Christians.

Raven's mother

Mother Raven or Angvusnasomtaka is a caring and loving mother. She is considered the mother of all kachin and is therefore highly regarded by all tables. She appears during the winter and summer solstices, bringing a basket of sprouts to symbolize a new beginning of life with an abundant harvest. She also appears during the Kachin initiation rites for children. She brings a bunch of Yucca Blades to be used during the ritual. Yucca blades are used by Hu Kachinas as whips. Mother Raven replaces all yucca blades as they wear out during lash extensions.

Lakshmi Yantra

Yantra is a Sanskrit word meaning "instrument" or symbol. Lakshmi is the Hindu Goddess, the Mother of All Kindness. She is a soothing and hospitable mother who intercedes on behalf of her devotees before Vishnu, one of the supreme gods of Hinduism, along with Brahman and Shiva. As the wife of Narayan, another Supreme Being, Lakshmi is considered the Mother of the Universe. She embodies the divine qualities of God and the feminine spiritual energy. Hindus usually approached Vishnu for blessings or forgiveness through Lakshmi, their adoptive mother.

They tap

Tapuat or labyrinth is a Hopi symbol for mother and child. The cradle, as it is also called, symbolizes where we all came from and where we will eventually return. The stages of our life as a whole are represented by the lines that serve as the umbilical cord for the vigilant and protective eyes of our Mother. The center of the labyrinth is the center of life, the amniotic sac that we have all been eating in since the beginning. This symbol is sometimes also called "travel" or "travel we call life".

Triple Goddess

The full moon, depicted between the waxing moon to her left and the waning moon to her right, is the symbol of the Triple Goddess. Along with the pentagram, it is the second most important symbol used in neo-paganism and Wiccan culture. Neopaganism and Wicca are 20th century versions of nature worship that have existed since ancient times.

They are also called nature religions or earth religions. For neopagans and Wiccans, the Triple Goddess is comparable to the Celtic Mother Goddess; the full moon symbolizes the woman as a foster mother, and the two crescent moons represent the young girl and the old woman. Some say that this same symbol also implies the fourth lunar phase, namely the new moon. It cannot be seen clearly in the symbol, just as the new moon is not visible in the night sky during this phase. It represents the end of the cycle of life and therefore death.

Triskel

This symbol exists all over the world. It appears in many cultures and generations in several incarnations, the most common of which are three intertwined spirals and three human legs that rotate symmetrically in a spiral from a common center. There are shapes that look like three numbers seven or any shape made up of any three protrusions. Although it is found in many ancient cultures, it is more widely accepted as a symbol of Celtic origin, representing the Mother Goddess and the three phases of femininity, namely the virgin (innocent and pure), the mother (full of compassion and care), and the old woman - old (experienced and wise). ).

Turtle

In many legends of Indian folklore, the tortoise is credited with saving all mankind from the Flood. She came to represent Maka, the immortal Mother Earth, who calmly carries the heavy burden of humanity on her back. Many species of turtles have thirteen parts on their belly. These thirteen parts represent thirteen moons, so the turtle is associated with lunar cycles and powerful feminine energies. Native Americans believe that the turtle will heal and protect humanity if it heals and protects Mother Earth. We are reminded that just as a turtle cannot be separated from its shell, we humans cannot separate ourselves from the results of what we do on Mother Earth.

These symbols of motherhood are unique to the cultures from which they originated, but nevertheless, we find curious and strange (slight) similarities that seem to suggest a universal kinship between the motives of human thinking associated with motherhood, and its symbols .
