Sai Rhave
Source
Sai Rhavë is the "darkest" of the Janyati, often associated with severity and austerity. She is also associated with steadfastness and foundation. All that is solid and weighty belongs to her, as does all restriction and discipline.
Thus Sai Rhavë is in one sense closely allied with Sai Thamë, as the discipline which maintains order, yet, in another sense, as the bringer of restriction, she appears to the the opposite of Sai Thamë, the "Great Benefic" who showers the world with her opulence, and of Sai Sushuri, the mother of all fecundity. Sai Thamë, Sai Sushuri and Sai Rhavë together represent a group whose complex interactions revolve about the principles of order, discipline, harmony, fecundity restriction, mercy and severity.
In Filianic thealogy, the two Luminaries, the Sun and Moon, represent the Mother and the Daughter respectively, while Sai Rhavë at her deepest level represents the Dark Mother: the unknowable Deity beyond form, beyond being and unbeing. From this perspective, the two Luminaries and Sai Rhavë represent a group of three (three being the spiritual number) and the other four represent the material group of four, corresponding, at a certain level of interpretation, to the four elements.
On more everyday levels of interpretation, Sai Rhavë governs the discipline and strictness which help to keep a life of thamë or harmony "on the straight path". She also governs the qualities of steadfastness, reliability, and responsibility. She is called upon in the foundation of buildings and in all things that must stand and endure. She is also associated with time.

Some notes on Déanism/ Filianism, as I'm reading The Gospel of Our Mother God.
"The Faith of Our Mother God consists in the acceptance of our Mother-Creatrix as the one Supreme Being, the Source and Origin of all that is, the One without a second, upon whom the existence of anything whatever is absolutely dependent. To know this and to love Her – or even to wish to love Her – is the whole of our religion in its essence."
The Trinity: Mother- the Creator, the Sun, light, consciousness, intelligence Daughter- The Preserver, the Moon, warmth, love Dark Mother- The Destroyer, mystery, darkness, the ground of being
The Seven Janyati: (forms of Dea, like white light splitting into the seven colors of the rainbow) 1. Sai Raya- reflection of the Mother: health, abundance, and life; the color gold, Sunday, the Sun, the metal gold, Greek- Theia; seen in Amaterasu. 2. Sai Candrë- reflection of the Daughter: priestesshood, emotions, mercy, imagination; violet or silver, Monday, the Moon, the metal silver, Greek- Phoebe, seen in Kuan Yin, Artemis 3. Sai Vikhë- combat, defense, conflict, courage, protection; the color red, Tuesday, Mars, iron, Greek- Nike, seen in Durga. 4. Sai Mati/ Vathë- intellect, communication; color yellow, Wednesday, Mercury, quicksilver, Greek- Metis; seen in Sophia, Athena, Saraswati, Mary as Sedes Sapientiae 5. Sai Thamë- divine harmony, music, law and government; the color blue, Thursday, Jupiter, tin, Greek- Themis; seen in Justitia, Saraswati, Mary as Queen of Heaven 6. Sai Sushuri- love, beauty; the color green/ pink, Friday, Venus, copper, Greek- Tethys; seen in Aphrodite, Lakshmi 7. Sai Rhavë- reflection of the Dark Mother; discipline, restriction, severity, stability, destruction; colors brown/ black/ indigo, Saturday, Saturn, lead, Greek- Rhea; seen in Kali & dark/ crone goddesses
The Wheel of the Year: Nativity- the birth of the Daughter (winter solstice) Luciad- The Feast of Lights, Taking on of Fate (the Daughter vowing to take light even unto the Realm of Death) Eastre- the death and resurrection of the Daughter (spring equinox) Feast of the Exaltation of the Queen of Heaven- Daughter's re-ascent to Heaven Rosa Mundi- Feast of the Mother, fire & roses (summer solstice) Chelanya- Feast of Regeneration, first fruits, cycles Cuivanya- Feast of Divine Life- the harvest, earth (autumn equinox) Tamala- Feast of the Dead
Some terms: khear- an abyss, gap, separation thamë- principles of order & harmony werdë- personal fate, comparable to karma

Positive Darkness is the Dark Mother, Sai Rhavë, those mysteries we can't understand but are, nonetheless, still aligned with the Good... "Darkness preceded light and she is mother"... This is the comforting darkness of the first night of a camping trip. The cosy darkness that holds and keeps you, and offers you rest. The darkness of the womb. The darkness of infinite possibility.
Erin Guinevere (x)

Priestess of Holy Wisdom intro to filianism.
I loved this. Reposting this here for fellow deanists and filianists (credits at the bottom): 
“Rayati (“Hail to the Sun within you”),
My name Sorella Roselyn and I’m a Filianist.
Filianism is the religion of Our Mother God and Her Holy Daughter. The Creed above, very briefly, outlines the basis of what we believe.
Our religion is a subset of Déanism; an umbrella term for those who worship God the Mother independent of a male consort, father or son god (however some Déanists do incorporate the divine masculine in their faith, albeit carefully to avoid His image overshadowing Her). Déanists may or may not believe in the Holy Daughter, or follow the Filianic scriptures, or observe the Wheel of the Year. All that one requires to be a Déanist is the belief in God as Mother; the Supreme Deity, immanent but also transcendent from Her Creation rather than being an earth or lunar goddess as observed in Pagan Goddess religions such as Dianic Wicca.
For Filianists, God (who we call Déa) exists as a divine feminine Trinity. She is the Bright Mother, the Creatrix of the cosmos and God-above-Us. She is also the Holy Daughter, the dimmed reflection of Her Mother who commands the energies of creation and who is God-with-Us. And lastly She is the Dark Mother, also called the Mysteria, who is beyond all knowledge and form – God-the-Absolute. While it common to compare the Filianic Trinity to the Christian Trinity, a more apt comparison would be to the Hindu God Brahman who exists as Brahma (Creator), Vishnu (Preserver) and Shiva (Destroyer). Their feminine counterparts, found in the Shaktism, would be the closest parallel to the Filianic trinity; Saraswati, Lakshimi and Parvati. The concept of a Triple, or Tri-unity Goddess, is one that has been replicated across many cultures and religions, primarily those now considered Pagan, yet still have thriving traditions in modern times.
Even in esoteric Christianity, particularly Gnostic and mystic circles, there is growing number of believes in a feminine Trinity to balance the masculine Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Others believe the Holy Spirit to be feminine Herself and correct Her name as ‘Mother Spirit’. The Divine Sophia, who is the form of which Déa came to myself as, exists in a three-fold form as Barbelo or Sige; the forethought of the All and cosmic mother, the creatrix Sophia or Pistis, and the Daughter Soul; Zoe. Sophia is the Greek word for Wisdom; Her trinity names thus translating as Silent Wisdom, Faithful Wisdom and Living Wisdom. While many Gnostic traditions regard Sophia as at fault for the flawed creation of the world, or personify Her as the lost soul desiring her male bridegroom and saviour (Christ), there are many who detach Sophia from her patriarchal demotion and worship Her as God in Her own right.
For Filianists; the Holy Daughter does not represent the soul in need of a saviour. She IS the Saviour. As explained beautifully in our scriptures, we believe that the Bright Mother created all things perfectly in the beginning, to be one with Her. Maid, the soul of humanity, was created in Her likeness as Her First Daughter. However the Maid wished to experience that which was outside Déa and so turned from Her, unable to look upon Her brightness or live in perfection. To Orthodox Filianists, the reason for this was due to temptation by the ‘Snake’ which represented the illusion of separation from Déa. However in the Janite Tradition it is believed that the motivation for this was not of deception but to seek knowledge. To experience both pleasure and pain which she could not when living with Déa. And this was done so according to Déa’s will as the soul of Maid came from Her and was a fragment of Her being. Whatever the intention, for Filianists that is the reason for why we live in a world of khear (separation) where suffering exists, where we are subject to the wherde (karma) of our actions and where our souls are reincarnated on the wheel of life. Déa did not exile us or punish us, rather we chose this state and each life we live is another step on our journey back to Her.
We believe that the Holy Daughter is the reason we have any hope of purifying our souls from khear and reuniting fully with Our Mother. According to the mythos, the Mother birthed the Holy Daughter (different from the First Daughter) as an aspect of Herself to reach Her children beyond the illusion of khear. While the Bright Mother is symbolised by the sun, beautiful yet blinding, the Daughter is symbolised by the moon, reflecting the light of Her Mother for us to see in the darkest of places. While the Bright Mother is the Light of Déa, the Holy Daughter is Her Love given form. It is the mission of the Daughter to spread Her Mother’s light to every corner of the cosmos, even to the farthest reaches where all hope seems lost.
The Mythos tells of how the Holy Daughter wilfully descended into Hell itself, suffering agonising torture and humiliation, before coming face to face with the Dark Queen; the antithesis of Déa who represents the soul of Maid at her most lost and cruel. The Holy Daughter allows the Dark Queen to ‘kill’ Her, only for the Bright Mother to shatter the gates of Hell after following Her Daughter’s descent. The Bright Mother’s tears of sorrow revived the Holy Daughter and restored Her to life; thus managing to conquer death itself. She is thus able to rise from Hell and carry the souls of all those lost with Her into Heaven.
This is of course a fictional story, but its purpose is to explain the mission and passion of the Daughter in images for Maids to understand. There are obvious parallels to other dying-and-rising saviour gods and goddesses. While Christians recognise similarities to the passion of Christ, there are also illusions to the descent of Inanna, the return of Persephone and also the shattering of Sophia as the Holy Soul unto the world. We believe these myths and more are evidence of the truth being shared and interpreted differently throughout time of God giving a part of Herself to save us from being eternally lost from Her.
Whether the mythos of the Scriptures is taken super literally or figuratively or a mixture of both is irrelevant for a Filianist. To be a Filianist is to follow Our Lady, the Holy Daughter, and Her teachings. Many of these are included in the Clear Recital along with the Mythos. These teachings as they are written were compiled by a group of women in Oxford during the 1970’s who referred to themselves as Madrians. While the themes and images of God the Mother and Daughter have existed for thousands of years, the structure of the Filianic faith arguably began with the Madrian movement (though the beliefs of those women at the time do not always represent those of Filianists today). Many accept the Teachings, though inspired by Déa, to still be subject to criticism as – like all religious texts – they are still the work of Maids, who are not perfect.
However, when reading the teachings, their central message is clear; Love. Love of each other, Love of Self and Love of Déa.
Therefore, the very nature of being a Filianist, is to Love.
Our Lady is the form of Déa’s Love. To worship Her is not simply through prayer or studying scripture, important as those aspects are. It is in being compassionate, in being kind and loving, to ourself and others, we are worshipping Her. In sharing the light of Déa to all the earth and beyond, we are ensuring that Her suffering was never in vain. To worship Her is not to hate, or envy, or seek revenge or harm unto others. To worship Her is not to proselytise or judge but to be a friend to every living creature and seek to do Good in Her name.
As Filianists we also believe in the Seven Janati; the seven great ‘angels’ or powers that are aspects of Déa given form:
Sai Raya (Jana of Light, Joy and Brilliance) Sai Candre (Jana of Purity, Reason and Reflection) Sai Vikhë (Jana of Strength, Courage and Valour) Sai Mati (Jana of Knowledge, Intuition and Wisdom) Sai Thame (Jana of Justice, Harmony and Order) Sai Sushuri (Jana of Mercy, Compassion and Love) Sai Rhavë (Jana of Discipline, Restraint and Faith)
To be a Filianist is to try to live in the image of the Seven Janati and inhabit their virtues. While most Filianists have a patron Jana they connect to, the goal of a Filianist ideally is to balance these virtues within oneself and society so as one does not become unbalanced. For instance many believe we are in an age where the ‘Vikhelic’ (Sai Vikhë) principle has overtaken the others, and thus we have more violence in the world than compassion or joy or restraint. But when channelled correctly, the virtue of Sai Vikhë can be used to help Our Lady’s light shine brightly, so long as it remains in balance with the others.
Our Lady Herself has been given many names throughout eternity, as has Our Mother. Most Filianists refer to the Mother as Mari or Marya; a holy name which has its place in multiple cultures for the Divine Mother, outside of the obvious Virgin Mary of Christianity. The most sacred name for the Holy Daughter in Filianism is Inanna (distinct from the Sumerian goddess of war), also referred to as Janah (pronounced ‘Yanah’, ‘Anna’ or ‘Hannah’) or Rhi’annë. She has also been called Kore, as in ‘maiden’, as well as Zoe by those like myself whose form of Déa has been Sophia. Anna often means Grace and ‘Jana’ also means Gateway, as well as being strikingly similar to the Islamic word for Paradise; Jannah. I personally call Her Janah. Whatever Her name or Her image, She is there for those who seek Her. The Dark Mother, Déa Mysteria, has no name or form – She Is Who She Is.
In closing; this blog is simply one Maid’s attempt to log her own journey as a Filianist, to walk in the path of Our Lady and help guide others into the arms of Our Mother.
Blessed is She.
“Take heart, My children, take joy and courage in our Mother. For She that created you also loves you, even to the end of the age. Take heart, though you have turned from Her. For She has not forsaken you, neither are Her eyes filled with anger. And Her hands that have shattered the gates of Hell shall not harm you; that have broken Hell’s foundation, shall be lain on you in gentleness. Therefore hide yourself not from Her, and put aside the tangled weeds of thought that strive each with the other. For of all things, Love is the simplest.” – Teachings 1:4 (“On Our Mother’s Love”)

Sai Sushuri
Source
In Telluria there has been an unfortunate tendency to associate the principle of Venus solely with sexual love. In fact, Sai Sushuri rules every kind of love, as well as beauty. We have spoken of the fundamental importance of beauty in the preceding piece on Sai Thamë. Love is equally fundamental.
At its root, all love is Divine Love, just as all beauty is Divine Beauty. It is the love of Dea for Her creation, the love of the soul for Dea and of Her creatures for one another. Just as beauty is the beauty of Dea, so love is the love of Dea. When we love Her, we do so with Her own love; hence the prayer to Dea to "Come into us as a perfect love for Thee".
The Sushuric principle is often taken as the opposite of the Vikhelic. From another perspective, however, the true opposite of the Vikhelic principle is the Sushuri-Thamic. Love, beauty, order and harmony are closely woven together. Under normal circumstances, vikhë too is part of this harmony. Only in the Age of Iron, when the Vikhelic influence becomes disproportionate, is opposition between the principles noticeable (this is natural, since opposition itself is Vikhelic).
In Telluria, the polarity of femininity and masculinity is a polarity between the Sushuric and Vikhelic principles. In Aristasia the polarity between blonde and brunette is between the Sushuric and Thamic principles, which may be seen as a polarity between love and duty or between mercy and severity. However, the true principle of severity is that of Sai Rhavë, and we may see (to borrow a Quabbalistic expression) Sai Sushuri as the Pillar of Mercy and Sai Rhavë as the Pillar of Severity, with Sai Thamë as the central pillar, holding the two in balance.
In terms of spiritual paths, Sai Sushuri rules the Path of Love (or bhakti marga), and thus has a special significance for the Age of Iron. It is not a coincidence that bhakti is recommended as the most natural path for the Age of Iron and that the Sushuric principle is the opposite of the Vikhelic.
Correspondingly, Sai Mati governs the Path of Wisdom (jnana marga) and Sai Thamë the Path of Works (karma marga), which should be understood as the path of ritual action, including the initiatic paths offered by the traditional crafts in Sattwic societies. Of the remaining non-luminary Janyati, Sai Vikhë governs the Way of the Warrior and Sai Rhavë the via negativa or the path of pure austerity. These however are not separate from the three fundamental paths, but are, as it were, subdivisions of the karma marga and the jnana marga respectively.
Many Aristasians associate Sai Sushuri with Sri Lakshmi, whose day is also Friday, and Her lotus the Eastern equivalent of the rose of Sai Sushuri, and who, for many, epitomises Our Lady of the Path of Love, showering Her devotees with gifts and bringing the liberation offered by the austere paths together with worldly enjoyment.
The elephants that usually support Sri Lakshmi are Thamic and royal symbols, as are other of her features, thus Sri Lakshmi combines the Sushuric and the Thamic and is especially appropriate to Aristasia-in-Telluria with its special relationship to Sai Thamë and Sai Sushuri.
Sai Sushuri governs love at every level, from individual love and the love of family to a society bound together by concord and goodwill rather than by competition and the clash of parties and interests. Ultimately all these loves flow from and depend upon the love of the Mother. That love is the spiritual foundation of Aristasia.

Do you have a picture of an altar of Dèa?
Tumblr media
This is my current set up, cobbled together as it is. The Venus statue is one I use to represent the Mother while the Angel represents the Daughter. I know those don't quite work but I'm just working with what little I have right now. The green candle is for Sai Mati, the red for Sai Vikhe, the yellow for Sai Thame and the white is for the three 'spirit' Janya; Sai Raya, Sai Candre and Sai Rhavë. The purple candle is for Our Lady; purple symbolizing Her royalty as Princess of the World and Queen of Heaven. The small rose quartz bracelet is my prayer bead set. The satchel contains a variety of crystals. There's also a diffuser and a bottle which serves no purpose other than it was a gift from my sister.
Also a kitty because it looks like a fat tabby I used to have. And Bast was my first goddess.
Yes, it is need of cleaning. That's on my to do list for tomorrow.
Lastly you can't see but in the Angel's offering bowl is a little trinket of the Horned God.
