I love your replies yogionefromobie and TaoSeeker.I have learned a great deal from all of you and I am afraid I cannot even try and compete. However ,in my love for things Egyptian, I would like to share another Triad which is Egyptian. Since the Egyptians knew about the chakras and the name Shakti originated from the name Sekhmet it is appropriate.
The Triad of Memphis - The Goddess Sekhmet,
aned the Gods Ptah and Nefer-Tem.
Ptah, brother and husband of Sekhmet, created the material world and gave humans for their pleasure and self-realization the arts - music, literature, paintings etc. as well as the sciences, mathematics and phylosophy.
Nefer-Tem, the son of Sekhmet and Ptah, is the God who gave us medicine and thus is the God of Physicians.
The Goddess Sekhmet, protects all the Gods against evil forces that may menace them. She protects what she loves, destroying enemies of the Gods or of the Pharaohs. A Goddess of Wrath, she rataliates with total savagery whenever She or her allies are in danger or attacked. Even though she responds with aggression she is not known to be the initiator of conflict. Her actions, however violent, are the actions stemming from loyalty and love.

My favorite talisman, the symbol of life
The Ankh
1. Horizontal line represents the earthly plane
2. Vertical line symbolizes the ascent of the
soul through animal and human forms
3. The loop lifted the spirit into heavenly
realms, before returning it to be reborn
again on earth.
