Triple Goddess in Neopaganism: In some forms of Neopaganism, such as Wicca, the Triple Goddess is a central figure represented by the Maiden, Mother, and Crone.

Mut was his wife, a mother goddess, and Khonsu, their son, was the god of the moon.

Ptah was the god of creation and craftsmanship, Sekhmet, a warrior goddess and goddess of healing, and Nefertem, who was associated with the lotus flower and the sunrise.

The goddess Anat now comes on the scene.
