The Spheres

**‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’***Jeremiah 33:3*

**“At night the highway's diesel roar - speaks to me and tells me more than any book I've ever read - or anything you've ever said”**
 "Illumination" - *Rollins Band:*

*Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of theheavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so*. – The Spheres are the Ophanim and are born of the third night into the fourth day: there was evening, and there was morning. This was Source’s first placement of lights in the vault and the Spheres are those self-same lights: angels of patterns, mathematics, openings and closings. These are Angels of the Universe’s patterns and secrets, time and space. Their function was to ensure that the great clock-work of the cosmos was perfect, unending, and in eternal alignment.

They took little heed of the fall. Many of them saw it coming, The Spheres very rarely question anything that happens, and it leads many to assume that they are cold and unfeeling. This isn’t true, the Spheres do care, yet they see the world as a finite thing, almost forgettable in the grand scheme of the Cosmos.

For all of this however, they still see mortals as something special, a creature that has a great role to play in the tapestry of creation. Maybe this is why they are somewhat cold to mortals. Mankind rarely takes his job of steward of Earth seriously, and this tends to ruffle the feathers of the Ophanim.

## **True Form**

The True Form of the Spheres takes the shape of a mass concentric circles, colored yellow and silver, white and gold. Fractals and patterns of luminescence glow bright and then grow dim again as more appear in one’s peripheral vision. Around the periphery can be seen a corona of golden wings, and a mass of golden staring eyes. The light of this form is almost blinding. And what appears to be a cacophony of chaotic blinking slowly starts to gain meaning the longer a Sphere holds this form, than the closer one gets to understanding the pattern, although they never quite reach that point. In fact many mortals (especially Mages) have gone insane by trying to see the entirety of this concept. Soft notes of flutes and piccolos dive and flutter in and out of a mortals’s hearing as they slowly begin to understand
