The Cult of The Trinity - 'Wicca' Miela the Mother Goddess has been attributed to a deity of an old religion of another land. As the Earth, Sea and Moon, this goddess was consort to a God, who ruled as the god of the Sun, Nature/Wildife, and Underworld; thus each ruling over a Heavenly Sphere, the Land and the Afterlife - with the Sea being a gateway into the Underworld.
This God was often depicted as half man, half animal, with golden horns and a crown of branches, depending on the season. The Goddess and the God 'aged' in numberous ways: The Goddess was the Moon and it's cycle throughout a month, the God was the Sun and it's cycle throughout a day, and together they aged over the Earth's cycle throughout a year.

The Goddess Three The triple goddess means one Goddess with three aspects that correspond with the phases of the moon. The waxing, full, and waning moons. The three aspects are the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. The new moon is not accounted for however. Some merge the Crone, or waning moon, in with the New Moon, and some believe there is a fourth dark and unseen Goddess. Maiden: Represents the Waxing Moon phase. She stands for childhood, adolescence, beginnings, purity, virginity, independence, and courage. Mother: Represents the Full Moon phase. She stands for motherhood, protection, fertility, growth, and sexuality. Crone: Represents the Waning Moon phase. She stands for old age, wisdom, change, transformation, death, rebirth, and banishing.
The Horned God The God aspect of Wicca is known as the Horned God. Like the Goddess with her three personas, the God has two main figures. The first is the Sun-God which coincides with the sabbats and seasons, much like the triple goddess with the lunar changes. The story of the Sun God begins on Yule when he is reborn every year, bringing the beginning reign of light again. At Imbolc he continues to grow with the days, growing longer in length. He begins coming into his full youth while the Goddess is too in her Maiden aspect. Together they grow until Ostara. The God is now a young man and takes the Goddess as his bride. On Beltane their marriage is consummated with a joyous celebration. On Litha the Sun God reaches his peak of life with the Summer Solstice. The Goddess is now in her Mother aspect. On Lammas he dies, remembering that through all death is life. On Mabon, he is mourned by the Goddess, now heading into her Crone stage. He resides in her womb, awaiting Summerland. At Samnhain he returns to Summerland and awaits rebirth. There he waits, growing younger until he is reborn again at Yule. The Goddess is now fully in her Crone form.
Oak King Vs. Holly King. The second persona of the Horned God lies with the two dual personalities that represent summer and winter, light and dark. The 'Twins' battle twice, on the two Solstices.
The Oak King reigns from Midwinter to Midsummer. Like the Oak tree, strong and dominant, he represents light, growth, strength, and longevity. The Holly King defeats his light twin on Litha, leading the days back into darkness. Like the dark season, he represents rest and patience. The holly tree is somewhat of a sign of hope during the cold winter, much like the Holly King. The green leaves, and red glowing berries stand against the dead fruitless trees. On Yule again, the Oak King takes his reign.
Crowns of a God When the god is firstborn at Yule, he is nude, and pure spirit, He is given the crown of Holly, but doesn't wear it - it is placed beside him so that he will not know the prick of death too soon. He then wanders out into the world, gathering leaves and twigs becoming the Greenman, and gives life to the womb of the goddess, at Ostara when he is crowned with Ivy...his horns growing all the while. When Litha hits, his crown is wilted, and he is given the crown of roses, that first touch of blood causes his green garments to wilt, and by Lammas, he must dress in skins to continue on. He is then the Horned one, heading to his death at Mabon and transition to the Otherworld at Samhain. When he passes over, his body falls to the ground becoming the dirt that fertilizes the great oak tree that shelters the Mother as she heads into her labor at Yule. Thus he is crowned with Oakleaves.
The Goddess receives three Crowns, a circlet, a crown of roses and a crown of candles; each for her three aspects.
Titles of God: Controversy on which are his Names. The Blue god, the Green god and the Horned god. The Spirit, the Life, and the Death. Or Life, Death and Rebirth. Student, Father, Elder, Or Page, Apprentice, Master. Father, Hunter, Magician, Warrior, Sage. The Son, The Father, The Grandfather' and also 'The Horned God, The God King, the Sacrificed God' and 'Youth, Father, Sage' and 'Child, Warrior, Wise Man'.
