Pagan views of the feminine typically revolve around three centers or
archetypes; mother, maiden, whore, crone.

That's maiden, mother & crone. Don't know where the 'whore' came
from. And, by the way, I am a young crone.
[Arlo]
A number of sources of I have cite "whore" in this list of
archetypes. Of course, "whore" simply means "sexually alive" while
"maiden" denotes vestigal innocence. Remember that as Christianity
cleansed the world of paganism, "whore" was applied to any woman who
engages in sex to someone who is not her husband. Can you think of a
male-similar word? Other than "stud"? Paganism did not think of "sex"
as evil, vile or dirty. Remember the Dionysians. Sex was Holy. It was
the Christians who came along and said "you bad, bad dirty little whore"....
