Ra was a male creator deity and the Father of the other gods, whose mother was Neith, sometimes referred to as the Terrifying One or thought of as the Void. He has several creation stories.
He - like the god of the Old Testament - created a son and daughter who went on to create the lineage of the gods of the Ancient Egyptian pantheon.
The word "code" feels inappropriate in the context of this discussion as it's often very "New-Agey." Perhaps these word suffice - story, understanding, observation, cycle, mythology, illustration...
Modern Goddess worship and devotees are adopting more nuanced views of the cycles of the Goddess beyond the Triple Goddess that may include Queen/Sovereign, Healer, Priestess, Teacher (Wise One), etc., given the space between Mother and Death - or more commonly Crone - can be vast. Or, that Goddesses and women may not be mothers.
There are certainly many nuances to all the goddesses, and to Ra as well. This blog post is meant to be quick and does not attempt to address the many details available to explore, that is what the live discussion is for!
My goal in this post is to lay out the claim that the triple goddess motif is cross cultural and appears in the Bible. Maybe code is not the best description, and I am always open to better language. That said, I do think the triple goddess is a particularly important motif because of the role it plays in both the Old Testament and the Koran.
Eliminating the feminine divine, the mother goddess, whatever we want to call her, is central to the theological development of monotheism, which is religion of just the divine father with no mother to go with him.
