Trident

The trident is an attribute of Poseidon (Roman Neptune), as well as an attribute of the Hindu god Shiva as Trishula.

In Greek mythology, Poseidon used a trident to create water sources in Greece to trigger tidal waves, tsunamis, and sea storms. The Roman scholar Mavrus Servius Honorat claimed that the Poseidon / Neptune triangle had three teeth because the ancients believed the sea covered a third of the world; There are three types of water alternately: streams, rivers and seas.

In Taoist religion, the trident personifies the mysterious mystery of the Trinity, three pure people. In Taoist rituals, the bell of the trident is used to summon deities and spirits, as it signifies the highest power of Heaven.
