Elpida,
Thank you for your insights and your sensitive interpreting of the continual flowing of life symbolized in the pouring of water. Yes, this is a beautiful image of the three faces of the Moon; the delicate crescent of the maiden, the ripe fullness of the mother, and the bestowing of wisdom by the crone.
