Triple Deity

This is a deity/god with 3 distinct, & apparent, forms that function as a singular whole. These deities can sometimes be called: three-fold, tripled, triplicate, tripartite, triune, triadic, or as a Trinity.

In classical religious traditions, 3 separate beings could be depicted as either a triad (who usually appears as a group such as the Greek Moirai, Charites, & Eriyes; the Norse Norns; or the Irish Morrigan), or a single deity (who’s significant for having 3 aspects such as the Greek Hecate or Roman Diana).

Trinitarian Christianity instead recognizes 3 “divine persons” in God the Father, the Son, & Holy Spirit, this is usually distinguished from the belief of independent gods, or aspects.

The trinity of supreme divinity is in Hinduism. They have the cosmic functions of creation, preservation, & destruction are personified as a triad of deities called Trimurti. Brahma is the creator, Vishnu the preserver, & Shiva the destroyer.

The sacred symbol of Hinduism, the Om/Aum, the sacred sound, syllable, mantra, & invocation, is considered to have an insinuation to the Trimurti. The A, U, & M phonemes of the word are thought to point to creation, preservation, & destruction. Phonemes means any of the perceptually distinct units of sound in a specified language that distinguish one word from another. The whole representing the transcendent or absolute Brahman is added.

This also shows 3 basic states of consciousness. In addition to which the whole syllable is interpreted as the subject of the consciousness, the self-principle (Atman). This is considered to be identical with the Brahman.

The Tridevi is the trinity of goddesses that are the consorts of the gods in the Trimurti. They’re personified by the Hindu goddesses Saraswati, Lakshmi, & Parvati. In Shaktism, these goddesses are considered the manifestations of Mahadevi, the Supreme Goddess (the female absolute). Also known as Mula-Prakriti or Adi Parashakti.

The Roman goddess Diana was worshipped from the late 6th century BC as diva triformis, “three-form goddess.” Early on, she was confused with the similar Greek goddess, Hekate/Hecate.

The Lake of Nemi was Triviae lacus for Virgil (Aeneid). Horace called Diana: montium customs nemoremque virgo (“keeper of the mountains & virgin of Nemi”) & diva triformis (“three-form goddess”).

Spells & hymns in Greek magical papyri refer to the goddess (called Hecate, Persephone, Selene, etc.) as “triple-sounding, triple-headed, triple-voiced, triple-pointed, triple-faced, triple-necked.”

The Olympian demiurgic triad in Platonic philosophy was made of Zeus, Poseidon, & Pluto/Hades. All were thought to be a monad; the same Zeus who gave rise to the Titanis demiurgic triad of Helios, Apollo, & Dionysus.

The Matres, or Matronae, are pictured as a group of 3. Sometimes with as many as 27 (3x3x3). They were associated with motherhood & fertility.

In the case of the Irish Brigid, it’s ambiguous if she’s a single goddess or 3 sisters named Brigid. The Morrigan sometimes shows up as 1 being, other times as 3 sisters. As do the 3 Irish goddesses of sovereignty – Eriu, Fodla, & Banba.

Nicene Christians profess “1 God in 3 divine persons” (God the Father, God the Son, & God the Holy Spirit). This isn’t a belief, or worship, in 3 gods & isn’t a belief in 3 aspects of God. Both of these ideas are condemned as heresy by the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church also rejects the idea that God is 3 persons & that God is a genus that contains the 3 persons.

A circa 4th century Gnostic text, Trimorphic Protennoia, shows a 3-fold discourse of the 3 forms of Divine Thought: Father, Son, & Mother (Sophia). Micheus, Michar, & Mnesinous, the 3 Heavenly Spirits of Baptism.

Some Christian saints, especially martyrs, are in trios. Because they share a feast day or other day of remembrances.

Modalism is a form of Christian Unitarianism opposed to Trinitarianism. They believe that the 1 God is also just 1 person. But appears in 3 different forms: the Father, Son, & Spirit. Modalism adherents believe that the same 1 God appears in different forms throughout history.

For example, Jesus was 1 form of the same God. They also believe that the Holy Spirit isn’t a separate person from the Father either. But it describes God in action. Modalis is a heresy in orthodox Christianity.

Tridevi

This is a trinity of supreme divinity in Hinduism. This joins a triad of well-known goddesses of the Trimurti, or as consorts of a masculine Trimurti. This depends on the denomination of Hinduism. This triad is typically personified by the Hindu goddesses Saraswati, Lakshmi, & Parvati. In Shaktism, these triune goddesses are the manifestations of Mula-Prakriti or Mahadevi. Triune means “3 in 1″ or 3 united in 1.”

In traditional masculine/male-centered (androcentric) denominations of Hinduism, the female Tridevi goddesses are relegated as consorts & auxiliary deities to the male/masculine Trimurti gods.

In Shaktism, the female/feminine Tridevi goddesses are given prominent roles of creator (Mahasaraswati), preserver (Mahalakshmi), & destroyer (Mahakali). In this sect, the male/masculine Trimurti God’s being put into auxiliary deities as agents of the female/feminine Tridevi.

Saraswati is the goddess of learning, acts, & music. She’s also the consort of Brahma, the creator.

Lakshmi is the goddess of fortune, wealth, fertility, auspiciousness, light, material & spiritual fulfillment. She’s the consort of Vishnu, the maintainer or preserver. Lakshmi doesn’t signify mere material wealth, but also abstract prosperity, such as glory, magnificence, joy, exaltation, greatness, & spiritual fulfillment. This translates to moksha. Moksha is liberation or release from the cycle of life, death, rebirth.

Parvati is the goddess of power, war, beauty, & love. She’s the consort of Shiva, the destroyer of evil, or transformer.

Mahasarasvati is described to be the slayer of Shumba in Devi Bhagavata Purana. This suggests that she has little to do with Saraswati.

Mahalakshmi is the prosperity aspect of Devi. She has 2 forms, Vishnu-priya Lakshmi & Rajyalakshmi. The former is the embodiment of chastity & virtuousness. The latter goes about courting kings.

Rajyalakshmi is stated to be fickle & impulsive. She enters all those places where virtue & charity may be found. As soon as these 2 vanish from any place, Rajyalakshmi will also vanish from that place.

Mahakali represents darkness, pure tamas personified. Mahakali is 1 of the 3 primary forms of Devi. She’s stated to be a powerful cosmic aspect (vyasti) of Devi & represents the guna (universal energy) named tamas, & is the personification of the universal power of transformation, the transcendent power of time.

Via Buddhism & syncretism with Japanese Shinto deities, the Tridevi entered Japanese mythology as the goddesses Benzaitennyo (Sarasvati), Kisshoutennyo (Lexmi), & Daikokutennyo (Mahakali or Parvati).
