Meaning
The triple moon symbol is a waxing crescent, a full moon, and a waning crescent in a row (often drawn ☽●☾). In Wiccan and wider Neopagan practice it represents the Triple Goddess: Maiden, Mother, and Crone — youth, fullness, and wisdom, or the lunar cycle as a whole.
There is no single official Unicode “triple moon” character, so Symbolstacks uses the three-part text sequence ☽●☾ as a copy-paste stand-in. Jewelers and tattooers usually work from a custom drawing with matching crescent curves.
It is related to, but richer than, a lone ☾. People choose it for feminine spirituality, life stages, and lunar devotion. It is not an ancient Egyptian hieroglyph and not the Islamic crescent-and-star.
When you paste ☽●☾ into a bio, some fonts space the three marks unevenly. If alignment matters, prefer an SVG or tattoo flash sheet. For a single moon character without the Triple Goddess reading, use ☾ or ☽ alone and link readers to the Moon guide for phase meanings.
Origin
Modern pagan and Wiccan visual language, built from older lunar crescents; popular in late-twentieth-century jewelry, altar tools, and tattoos.
Cultural variations
Wiccan sources emphasize the Triple Goddess. Secular wearers may mean “moon phases” or feminine cycles without that theology. Some feminist and witch-shop branding uses it as a general lunar logo. Always treat living religious meanings with respect when you write about or sell the mark.
