Mythology Summary

Hebrew term meaning 'worthless' or 'without value'—later personified as demon of independence and earthly power. Represents sovereignty without divine approval, self-sufficiency as highest value. Left Hand Path figure teaching that you need no master, no god, no external validation. Worthlessness becomes freedom when you refuse to be measured by others' standards.

Modern Practice

Patron of radically independent, those building power without approval, sovereignty workers. Invoked for self-sufficiency work, refusing submission, earthly mastery, independence magic. Teaches that worthlessness is freedom, that you need no master, that power belongs to those who claim it.
