<blockquote>O Izdu. If the Mother is the font, you are the pipe by which her civilizations flow. The third spoke is the god of not only insight, magic, and knowledge, but also of productive creation, commerce and accounting, and mos maiorum. His cult in the Sultanate has a certain dogmatic unity, but subdivided into self-concerned clades of librarians, notaries, lecturers and tutors, pundits, astrologers, civil servants, administers of occupational blessings, advisors to the Sultan’s court, and so on. At the heart of the Grand Academy is nestled The Evident Motif — opened to the public only on holy days — where the Murshids lead solemn memory-sermons and lift veils and part curtains among incenses. | <blockquote>O Izdu.
