DF Reference Collection / Re: The identity of the Mothers [CD spoilers]

The Mothers are the Crones.
The Queens are the Mothers.
The Ladies are the Maidens.
Maiden, Mother and Crone is one of the oldest mythical tropes out there, and sees countless expressions in real world religion and in fiction.

(On a side note, my favorite expression of the three is with Eve in Sandman - she's all three personally.)

Actually . . .

The concept of the maiden/mother/crone triune goddess thing is only about 100 years old, based on since discredited research by Robert Graves.

Tripple goddesses in history have been, historically speaking, all the same age.  The three norns, the three fates, etc., they're all old crones, not one of each of the three.

The Three Faces of Eve might be a more profitable avenue of exploration, instead.
