The Divine Trinity of Ancient Egyptian and Hindu Mythology
Similar to the Hindu Mythology/Theology, the Ancient Egyptians separated The Creator also known as "The All" in Hermetics into a Trinity.
These three personifications are symbolic for certain Divine Operations within the Creator.
Ancient Egypt:
Khepri: The Multiplier
Atum: The All/Mental Projection
Ra: The Divine Progeny
Ancient Hindu:
Brahma: The Multiplier
Vishnu: The All/Mental Projection
Shiva: The Divine Progeny
Today I am going to start with a deep dive in to Khepri.
In the case of the Ancient Egyptians, Khepri was viewed as the multiplier, he symbolises the operation of creating literal "carbon copies" of mortal humans from the blueprint of divine man Ra. Khepri is symbolised by the Scarab and Scarabs are unique due to their structural colouring. Most creatures display colour variations due to pigment, however Scarabs (as well as Peacock feathers and some berries) use structural colouring to create their beautiful iridescent colours. It is literally the way the angle of light reflects from the structure of their wings that produces their colours. Symbolically this translates to the reflecting divine light of the Creator in the process of creating souls. Each soul is a facet of the Creator (mentally, spiritually and physically) all shining in various hues, some brighter than others dependent on degree in separation.
Derived from the Egyptian root word "kheper," his name translates directly to "to come into being," "to develop," or "to transform"
The large scarab symbolises Khepri, then we have Thoth (symbolising knowledge) either side of Khepri and then the 4 smaller Scarabs represent the Four Divine Races.
