.xiii

xiii is a very old god, who at present cannot remember the first name Ey ever bore. One of Eir names is Aelphaba, and another is Terres. xiii represents one of Eir prominent roles in the Cycle, the thirteenth card of the Major Arcana, Death. Ey is a reincarnating god, taking different roles and different forms in each life, retaining the same divine soul.

Offerings/Worship
xiii has no desire to be worshipped.

Ey has a shrine, here. Ey's current form has little godly power in this physical universe, but Ey may put out energy into the Universe on ones behalf if they request. Favored offerings include
 * quotations, words, poems, excerpts that remind one of Em
 * pictures of plants, animals, blood, bones, soil, things Ey is associated with
