Big Daddy and the Kid are obvious enough. Holy Ghost, I think, is the female mother goddess faded-out and de-sexified because the church fathers were giant MCPs. That made space for the Mary deification, of course. But as goddesses go, Mary is totally restricted in status and role. Like, she's not really god-level, she's human, and her portfolio is childbearing and sympathy, period. She doesn't get to have any ambition, or actual independent power. She can only ask Big Daddy for stuff.
Thinking about it, I can sure see why the New Age ladies went gaga for the Goddess for a while there. Haven't had a real goddess in this culture forever. Mary is a total mouse compared to the Greek pantheon ladies.
As for all being the same thing? Why not? There are no rules in supernatural reality.
