Mother (neopaganism)
In Neopaganism, the Mother is an aspect of the Triple Goddess, along with the Maiden and the Crone. She is associated with the full moon and with the Earth. Many ancient Pagan religions had mother goddesses; it has been argued that the figure of Mary the mother of Jesus is patterned on these. Even among those who are not Pagan, expressions such as Mother Earth and Mother Nature are in common usage, personifying the Earth's ecology as a fertile and sustaining mother.
