Ancient Psions | Ancient Psions practiced a form of ancestor worship, communing with the divine spirits of the dead through a Y-goblet that "cupped their spirits" and poured out their souls into new Psions. Worship involved daily rituals in which the Y-goblet was filled with offerings for ancestors, such as water to wash out their eyes,<ref>'''Bungie (2019/7/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Penumbra]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_I|Entry I]]''</ref> salt to roughen their skin, <ref>'''Bungie (2019/7/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Penumbra]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_II|Entry II]]''</ref> or linen to bind their wounds.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/7/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Penumbra]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_VI|Entry VI]]''</ref> Other practices included physically drawing the Y-goblet on a nearby surface. Adherents believed that every other person, or at least Psions, had a spark of the divine within them, physically evident in their Y-shaped pupils. <ref name="EIII">'''Bungie (2019/7/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Penumbra]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_III|Entry III]]''</ref> | ||
In prehistory, long before the Psion species joined the Cabal, a group of exceptionally powerful Psions known as the God-Thoughts dominated the species with their psychic abilities. They destroyed the Y-goblet faith for seeing divinity in every common person. Its suppression was so brutal that while the faith survived to the present, its practitioners still feared discovery and worshiped only in secret.<ref name="EIII"/><ref>'''Bungie (2019/7/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Penumbra]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_VIII|Entry VIII]]''</ref> | In prehistory, long before the Psion species joined the Cabal, a group of exceptionally powerful Psions known as the God-Thoughts dominated the species with their psychic abilities.
