Vignettes of the Ogdoad
Within the Abode Upon the Abyss we find the Ogdoad
They are eight faces of the great Apotheon; Eight facets of the divine crystal, composing the Crystal Counsel of higher being; Eight angelic and daemonic forces, each sovereign entities in their own right, which act upon the Will of higher being.
Empowered by the light and dark which emanates from the ever eternal abyss, they are known as:
-
Counselor, consoler, emotionally enlightened - goddess of darkness brings solace from the depths of the abyss, clearing away toxicity and negativity - bringing connection at the emotional level
-
Healer, nurturer, strength builder - from the light of the abyss comes the energy that nourishes all, and heals all wounds - bringing vitality and potency to body and spirit
-
Guide, teacher, inspirator - bringing knowledge, awareness, deep understanding and wisdom from the light of the abyss - the great communication connects with all things at the cognitive level
-
Guidance through the unmanifest darkness of what is yet to come - to some the way forward is clear, or is to be cleared- this great hunter is the guide through the untamed wilds of the abyssal darkness
-
Manifestor of darkness, dark magician, sorcerer of darkness - deep from the depths of the darkest parts of the abyss comes the ability to manifest the unmanifest, to birth the unborn, and redeem the unredeemable - that which exists but is not manifest
-
Manifestor of light, bringer of enlightenment, bearer of light - from the rim of eternal light, emanating from the abyss, comes the power to make manifest that which exists - if you can dream it, the light can bring it
-
Guardian of the temple, sacred warder, protector of the divine - this stout warrior stands guard, always on the ready, to prevent entry into sacred spaces, any and all that would profane such places. Stout, stoic and silent protecting from the light of the abyss
-
Divine conqueror, warrior, defender, combatant - darkness encroaching on unguarded place, darkness consuming would-be opponents, this warrior of darkness conquers all that stands in its way, advancing and holding, protecting and defending
The Ogdoad is equally dark and light; male, female and neutral; active and passive;
It is not the balance of opposing forces, but the extent of the extremes.
The Angelic and Daemonic are one within the Ogdoad
