Hello! First of all, it's so great that this forum is up and running now.
Anyway, I'm writing a chant and I was wondering what the term for Dea as Three-in-One would be the same way we have Dea Madria, Dea Filia and Dea Matrona. I was considering 'Dea Trinitas' or 'Dea Totae' but I have absolutely no knowledge of Latin and how the grammar rules work.
Thanks!
Madria Erin

Erin is spite of the fact that I am the administrator I am still learning how to use this new forum. Anyway you are the first actual poster of a thealogical thread on the forum. I just spent about 20 minutes writing a some what bigger response to this post but then I lost it. I will not write it again. Dea Trinitas looks good to me but my knowledge of Latin is weak. Perhaps Pamela will know the answer. I will inform her about your post. Please keep writing here as time goes on we will learn how to use it more effectively

This would be a good question to ask ArchMatrona Georgia.
Most properly, it should be Madria Dea, Filia Dea and Matrona Dea, but we do it the other way for greater flow in the prayers.
I'll ask ArchMatrona and get back to you. This is a good question.

Dear Madria Erin, I took some Latin a long time ago, so I'll do my best here: Dea is a first declension feminine noun in Latin. "Dea" can be nominative (the Goddess) as subject in a statement, or vocative ("O Goddess") as a form of address. (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dea#Latin) Trinitas is a third declension feminine noun (see en.wiktionary.org/wiki/trinitas for the declension) Dea Trinitas could mean "O Goddess, the Trinity" I suggest that Triune or Threefold Dea could be translated as Dea Trina (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/trinus#Latin) or Dea Triplex (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/triplex#Latin) Philemon |
