God Shiva – destroyer, but also renovator
God Shiva is the father of Ganesha and one of the three main gods in Hinduism. Shiva has many attributes and many meanings are attributed to him. He is pure consciousness from which his energy (Shakti) comes out and creates the world. Shiva also has a destructive but positive aspect. Something is finished so that something new can emerge. It dissolves old habits and creates space for a new beginning. That's why he is the god of transformation and change.
Trishula is Shiva's weapon. In doing so, he destroys the physical and spiritual worlds as well as the world of the ancestors. The trident symbolizes the three main gods of Hinduism - Brahma as creator, Shiva as destroyer and Vishnu as preserver. The tips of the trident are associated with the three forces of Shiva's will, knowledge and action, as well as with the future, present and past.
