There are various versions of The Triple Goddess:

1. Maiden, Mother, and Crone aspects of Luna (The Moon),

2. Gaia, Sola, and Luna (Earth, Sun, and Moon)

3. Goddess, Cosma, and Galacta

The last three are the judges of my omnibus prayer/workings
in my latest attempt, which I am reporting on on the thread
“World Sexual Health Day” on alt.religion.druid.

I define Goddess as the ruler of the region all/everything
and while gender is not part of that definition, I theorize
that Goddess has all eight sexual harmonics described
on https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/8H.html and thus can
be identified with by everyone and is compatible with
everyone (but is non-anthropomorphic, like the Hindu Shakti).

I define Cosma as the someone who is that which most
modern cosmologists believe began with the Big Bang,
and which I believe is a subset of all/everything.
I also theorize that Goddess created Cosma, but
that is not part of my definition of Goddess.

I define Galacta as the someone who is the Milky Way galaxy.

4. Banba, Eriu, and Fotla

5. The triple goddess Brigid (with aspects of poetry, healing, smithing),

6.The triple goddess Macha

7. The triple goddess Morrigan (Badb, Nemain, Macha?)

(The last four triples from Anne Ross’s Pagan Celtic Britain.)

Can you list others? Are there Hindu versions of a triple goddess?
(perhaps Radha and Krishna’s two wives?). And are there
Hindu names, not necessarily female, for any I list above?
