Sacred women or female spirits in groups of nine occur everywhere in folklore and myth. There were the Muses of classical Greece, the nine Morgans of the Celtic paradise, the nine Korrigen on their sacred isle, the nine moon maidens who created Scandinavian gods, etc. The Star of the Muses is a triple trinity, shown as three interlaced triangles. The archaic Muses themselves were at first only three aspects of the Goddess Mnemosyne (Memory), later multiplied again by three. They became the divine nymphs guarding the spring of inspiration on Mount Helicon. This is also used by some as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. 1-1/4" Sterling silver.
