Symbols
Recurring symbols include the triple-moon glyph (waxing crescent, full disc, and waning crescent representing the Maiden, Mother, and Crone), the pentacle, and the labrys — the double-headed axe associated with the Minoan-era Mediterranean and adopted by lesbian-feminist communities in the 1970s as a Dianic and broader feminist symbol. Imagery drawn from Diana and Artemis — the bow, the stag, the crescent moon — is widely used in altar work.
