You have the Father, the Warrior, and the Trickster. Odin, Thor, and Loki. I think this has been done before, but there are bits and pieces taken from each into all three, but predominantely I see Rand as the Father, Perrin ironically enough as the Warrior, and Mat as the Trickster
I've seen a slightly different setup:
Rand as Tyr, they both lose a hand, and Tyr's a warrior god.
Mat as Odin: Odin hung from Yggdrasil for knowledge, he fights with a spear, he's attended by two ravens (whose names mean Thought and Memory), he wears a wide-brimmed hat, and lost an eye (as people suspect is going to happen in ToM). Mat is clearly more related to Odin than Loki.
Perrin as Thor: Naturally, though he's a lot closer to the Slavic god Perun.
As well as several other mythologies. It's part of RJs myth turns to legend etc... concept. Much like the Forsaken all have cobbled together bits of various Nazi commanders as well as mythological beings.
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!
What would be the trio of masculine archetypes, and how would the ta'veren fit them?

The fact that you would call the Holy Ghost a vessel in that sense shows how little you know

I wonder if those are the archetypes on which the buddy-cop dynamic is based.

The Father, the Wanderer and the Wise Old Man are in most myths and Jung wrote a lot about them
