## Trivia

* Godhead is another term for Godhood, or overall Divine nature.
* The Godhead bears strong resemblance to the Eye of Providence, Eye of God, or The Eye That Sees All, a common religious symbol also used in Christian religions. The three edges of the triangle may represent each part of the Holy Trinity.
* Godhead is arguably the hardest/most grueling item to unlock in Rebirth and Afterbirth, as it requires having to kill every final boss, on hard mode, with The Lost.
* The three triangles on the corners of the Godhead icon may be a reference to Template:I, Template:I, and Template:I items.
* This item appears in the Afterbirth† release date trailer.
