Yahweh

Yahweh, more commonly known simply as God in western traditions, is the god of the Abrahamic faiths.

## Adonai

Adonai means "the Lord", and was used by the Hebrews to refer to Yahweh without saying his name, which was sacred to them and associated with causing miracles. As such, "Yahweh" was not to be spoken, and was replaced in holy texts with "Adonai".

## Legends

According to the Valentinian sect of early Christianity, Yahweh was the child of the entity Achamoth.

According to the Albigensian sect of medieval Christianity, Lucifer was Yahweh's firstborn, who was expelled from Heaven alongside his followers for rebelling against Yahweh. Lucifer then created the Earth in his exile to rule over, causing everything to go wrong. Jesus, Yahweh's second son, was born to restore order to existence.

In the *Emerald Tablet*, it is said that all things are made by him and all that happens is in accordance to his will.

He was the creator of Adam, the first man. In the rabbinical tradition, when Adam was exiled from Eden, God granted him a magical rod, which would later be used by Aaron to perform miracles and plagues.

Adam's sons, Cain and Abel, each made a sacrifice to God, with Cain offering a poor sheath and the leftovers of a meal, and Abel offering the finest of his flock, causing God to favour Abel. This was a contributing factor to Abel's murder. In addition, after Abel's murder, God cursed the earth for accepting the corpse.

In accordance to the commandments issued to Moses, idols were not to be made of Yahweh for worship, and he would remain their invisible protector and ruler.

In Chaldean legend, their first king, Aloros, was given his regnal sceptre by God personally.

The Latin translation of the *Picatrix*, in its opening lines, indicates that it was an act of God that caused Alfonso X of Castile to order the translation of the text from Arabic. It is stated that he is worshipped because he is all-powerful, having separated day from night, created all life, and because he exists in all things, and all of space is part of him. Furthermore, he is described as being the one who made everything, decided what everything does and, due to the fact that he is in everything, understanding everything in nature thus becomes possible. The human spirit comes from God, and thus a person who is able to return to their origin can then understand all of creation and the nature of God.

Adjournment is said to be a process where a wrongly killed individual asks God to judge them, resulting in the person responsible for their death dying soon afterwards if God rules in the deceased's favour.

At the end of days, God is prophesised to slay Rahab.

## Notes
