They represent the 3 major stages of the moon in connection with the 3 sacred stages of womanhood, as the moon is very sacred to women.

OBALA N'ABO or OBALA OBALA being the birthing spirit in multitude, which is the mother, while OSE OBALA is that which is pure, and that is the maiden. Sirius Ugo Art.
