The earliest Celt’s worshipped a triple goddess with a pair of gods who represented the light and dark or the waxing and waning suns. I recognize a triple god as well as a triple goddess, each to represent the young, mature, and elderly aspects of the ancient Horned God and Great Goddess.
Youths offer energy, creativity, inspiration, and passionate motivation. With a priceless habit of questioning everything to see if it is still valid or the best possible option. Young people still have a delightful sense of wonder that we could all do with a bit more of. They also have less patriarchal attitudes and logical disbelief. The younger a child is, the more unlimited their magical potential, because they haven't yet learned what impossible means.
Mature adults have reached the peak of their power and abilities where they balance strength, energy, and endurance with knowledge, wisdom, and experience. They have sufficient wisdom and experience to lead well, if they stay open to advice and ideas from others, yet still have enough imagination, ambition, energy, and clarity of mind to meet the obligations of leadership.
The elderly may well be our most precious resource. It is unfortunate that modern societies undervalue the importance and power of their knowledge, wisdom, and experience. There's a common saying among young adults that the older they get, the smarter their parents seem to be. Although it may be more difficult for our elders to relate to our problems and interests, it's impossible for them to live very long without learning very useful and practical information.
Youth, Hunter and Sage.
