Da'at
Da'at is the blessed container. Da'at is relief and flexible. The grateful bearer of Burdens.
"Ein Soph fills the world with so much Light, it opens the eyes of Creation and widens the mouth of Existence. The many faces of Da'at turn and turn in that Light , catching the overflow within the Crown of the Mind. Da'at holds the Sephirot as some words might carry many meanings.”
-description of Da'at
Da'at is known as one of the Gods of Mercy and Forgiveness. He is often sought out in prayers by those who are laboring under heavy burdens and the guilt of Sin.
Hod
Supreme glory. Hod's presence calls for submission, prostration and unfettered love.
Hod's glory veils even the Sun. It is said, in some parts, the Sun's rays only shine in the space left behind by Hod's radiance. The Sun existing only in deference and awe. Splendor submits to Hod and beauty fails before Hod. The sky withers and retracts and all that can remain without Hod languishes in mediocrity. Yes, Hod is greatness, but the price of knowing such brilliance is the sundering of one's own 'self'. Why should we bother to know our own visage or to look even at the Sun while we choose to remain so ignorant of what Hod is? It is all darkness by comparison...
-ramblings of a blind stowaway when the Captain asked his identity.
Hod Is one of the top Deities, yes their true purpose is unknown, the truth of his lore long since lost to the passages of time. Every resident of the Rift has a small statue or blessed favor to the glory of Hod, simply as a cover all, a God who answers all prayers regardless of reason.
Chohkmah
Chohkmah is faith and premeditation turned to stone. Potentiality's demise and purpose. The first step out of the mystery of Ein Soph to awareness.
First steps like first love requires commitment to things you cannot know. The requisite faith to leap into the chasm without even the certainty of death, or the hope of flight. Chohkmah is not the step,
Chohkmah is the ephemeral decision dissolving into action. Chohkmah is the first light of reality. Open your eyes young one.
-first rites performed for a newborn
Chohkmah is much beloved by Scholars, Magicians, and Intellectuals across all spectrum's. He is the Deity of Resolution, Devotion to One's Course, And Unraveling the Mysteries of Existence.
Yesod
Foundation. The bedrock beneath existence. The fertile soil, impregnated by moonlight.
Light dances atop the earth. Where it touches, cinder-soft turf is upturned and exposes this planet to the Sephirot. At midnight a precious conversation takes place between Malkuth and Yesod under the gaze of a hooded moon and we are the words. Our story continues to scrawl itself across the world, forever.
-a creation myth
Yesod is the God of Twilight and Fertility, the Balance between Light and Dark, Between Night And Day. He is also the God of Multiple Births, and it is said he shows favors to those born a twin of another.
Netzach
Netzach is brilliant and withstanding. Netzah is trial and the exaltation of endurance.
Beneath this stone, I am Glory. Tension and suffering pushing me down and burying my face in the muck.
But even then, I am sweet fire ablaze the torch, burning in the abstractions between agony and patience.
-a mantra of Netzah
Netzach is the God of Trial, Endurance, Dignified Suffering, Self Sacrifice, and Hidden Strength. He is seen as the God that holds the Sky above the Land and Sea, Unseen and Ever Laboring, his struggles are felt in the form of Earthquakes and High Seas.
Gevurah
The left hand of Ein Soph. The harsh Judge and curator of action.
As the forceful left hand, Gevurah must temper the dreams of existence with harsh protocol. Ever steadying the wings of migrant hearts to ensure the journey.
-etched on the crypt of a local Constable
Gevurah is the God of Judgement. Lawyers, Judges, Kings, Constables, Executioners, and those who both practice in law and write them, are devoted worshipers of this God. However, this God is not Lenient in any way, and has been known to enact terrible and swift retribution on his followers who stray from the path.
Tiferet
Tiferet is not the sum of parts but the clear reflection of a faceted gem. Form must have dimension and it is Tiferet who coats it in definition.
It is true, to look upon the countenance of Tiferet is to know many faces. Such is also, to know the thread within the rope.
Tiferet wears a crown comprised of the fingers from the many hands of Ein Soph, whose many efforts goad existence from the dark. They scribble their will onto the face of Tiferet, forming the features and expression of creation. Tiferet knows love and justice from the great Legs of Ein Soph, Gevurah and Hesed. Tiferet Is intuitively present and steeped in wisdom, by Binah and Chohkmah. Knows glory and its cost, by the balance of Netzah and Hod. All that is unseen, be the face of Tiferet.
-from the Book of Summations
Tiferet is another Multifaceted God who's worshipers come to him for more than one purpose or prayer. Rather than have a set purpose for prayer, he is the God of Many, and all prayers from those who seek mercy to those who wish to know the unknown are heard by Tiferet. As a multifaceted deity, he is weaker in the Pantheon of the Rift, and his actions upon the realm are less obvious than some of the others.
