Elijah
Elijah is the prophet of the fire that falls on Carmel, of the drought and the rain that ends it, and of the still small voice after the wind and the earthquake. He is taken up in a chariot of fire and does not die; his mantle passes to Elisha.
A prophet, not a deity; the cup at the table is the practice the entry follows. The planetary and elemental values are modern overlays.
