The Mother Maiden Crone Candle Holder takes the same Triple Goddess archetype from Wiccan and Pagan tradition — the Maiden, Mother, and Crone standing for the three stages of a woman's life — and renders it in a different register than a stone-effect finish: a bronzed, hand-polished surface with a warmer, metallic glow. Each of the three figures is sculpted in detailed relief, so the piece reads as one continuous story rather than three separate faces.
It is cast in designer composite resin, hand-painted, and individually polished so no two pieces are exactly alike in finish. Measuring 5.75 inches long, 5.75 inches wide, and 6 inches tall, it includes a removable glass tea-light cup at its center, which makes it dual-purpose: use it as a candle holder with the glass cup in place, or lift the cup out and use the same space to hold and contain incense ash.
That dual function makes it a practical choice for anyone who alternates between candle and incense work at an altar, during meditation, or around moon-phase rituals connected to the Triple Goddess tradition — the Maiden's new beginnings, the Mother's strength and creation, the Crone's accumulated wisdom. It also stands on its own as a sculptural piece for anyone drawn to the symbolism, lit or not.
For candle use, a standard tea light fits the removable glass cup most securely; for incense, set a stick or cone in the same recess and keep any ash contained within it rather than letting it fall onto the resin base. Always burn on a heat-safe, stable surface, away from curtains, papers, or anything else that could catch a stray ember.
Let wax or ash cool completely before handling, then wipe the resin with a soft, damp cloth to keep the bronzed finish free of dust and residue; avoid solvents, which can strip the polish. Stored indoors away from damp conditions, the glass cup and sculpted detail both hold up well to regular use.
