Summary

Description The crescents consist of a 120° arc inscribed within a 180° arc (i.e. what is left over when a Vesica piscis figure is inscribed within a circle). This shape is an approximation to the astronomically-correct crescent shown in blue in diagram Image:Gibbous-Crescent-half-ellipse-in-circle.svg (i.e. the average appearance of the illuminated area of the moon at the mid-point of the first third or the last third of a lunar month, measured from New Moon to New Moon), but is more aesthetic when used as a symbol. Of course, individual artistic renderings of the Triple Goddess symbol will very frequently not strictly follow these exact proportions, but the crescent shape shown here is more or less the "canonical" form.
