Within Bessus Nouiogalation, we honor many Dêuoi (Gods) and Dêuâs (Goddesses), Cintuxtoi (The first Ones), and Biuiti (Being, Creatures, Entity), each with their own nature, essence, and presence. On our site, you will find sections dedicated to them. There is much to explore, and it may take some time to navigate and reach the heart of how each one serves within our Bessus.
What I have done here is taken our main write-ups and simplified them, making it easier to get to the point — to offer a clearer understanding of their place and function within our living tradition.
This does not mean that this is the only way to view them, for they are beyond identification and beyond words. Nor does it mean that you yourself might not focus on different aspects of them within your own home or practice. Rather, this list serves as a guide to understanding how they are approached and honored within the framework of our Bessus.
