Cult of the The Power Cozmik

 Cult of the The Power Cozmik (Cleric Cult)

In some way the Collapsing Universe itself seems capable of empowering champions to do it’s bidding from time to time.  Some believe this to be the spirit of the universe itself, in some sort of ‘cozmik druid’ sense.  This is an old phenomenon.  The Ancient Quetzal wrote of it first in the latter interstellar-galactic era of their civilization. A belief and paradigm resulting, was reconstructed by the Vem in Prehistory as they encountered Quetzal ruins early in their own stellar travels and it experienced a renaissance of sorts in Vem society. The forms and basis for the modern belief took hold here.

Most commonly it  accepts the existence of an Overgod, the sum of all sentient life in the universe (or galaxy, opinions differed); many of their latter successor technologies seemed to involve this conceptualized galaxy or universal mind.

            Life is sacred
            Intelligent life is the consciousness of the Living Universe.

            The Universe should be allowed to unfold as it will, so to all of those within it.

Unholy         The Undead, universal incursions, existential threats, certain Gods, most Demons, the forces of Anti-life

 

Symbology -

Quetzal ruins can be found throughout the galaxy.  It is increasingly thought that the various “crystal garden” worlds that seem to be becoming less rare as one moves closer to the center of the galaxy may have been the result of early “Quertzalforming” of these worlds.  

Symbology – winged serpents, jeweled birds, the power cozmik

Channeling the Power Cosmik 

When invoking the Power Cosmik, the caster’s Eyes hands and face (sometimes the caster’s whole body) take on the aspect of the universe, appearing as a black shape through which can be seen the deeps of space.

The power cosmic - Spellcasting le Grande Astromancies;

Playing a Cleric of the POWER COSMIK (you have to think of it in those terms or it loses something) is not subtle. You don’t just casually tap the invisible pattern of galactic ley lines in order to  channel zero point energy.   In somewhat different nomenclature, it is pure (positive material) energy, with a distinctly Primordial twist or tang or resonance ( You are tapping into the un-utilized potential energy of the big bang here).
