Triple Moon
A symbol of rhythm, return, and the quiet cycles of becoming
The Piece
This piece was formed in stone and brought to clarity in the Forge of Elaryn.
At its centre the full moon is held between two crescent forms, suggesting the movement of waxing and waning light. The engraved surface allows the phases to settle softly within the circular frame.
The surrounding stones echo this sense of rhythm, forming a natural ring around the central symbol. Together they create a calm composition that reflects the quiet cycles found in nature.
The Symbol
The phases of the moon have long been used as symbols of rhythm, renewal, and the unfolding cycles of time.
Across many traditions the waxing, full, and waning moon represent the continual movement between emergence, fullness, and return. Rather than a beginning and an end, the lunar cycle reflects an ongoing process of transformation.
For centuries these phases have appeared in sacred imagery, calendars, and ritual objects as reminders that life moves in patterns rather than straight lines.
Within the Forge the moon phases represent the quiet intelligence of cycles — the understanding that every moment of growth is balanced by a moment of return.
Status
In the Forge
This piece began with the central circle, establishing the full moon as the point of balance within the form.
The crescents were then engraved gradually, allowing their curves to remain gentle and even against the surface of the stone. The surrounding stones were arranged to echo the circular movement of the lunar cycle itself.
As light moves across the piece the phases reveal a subtle shift between shadow and form, giving the impression of a symbol that quietly mirrors the rhythm of the night sky.
