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.

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>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]]: [[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.

The legendary, clairvoyant [[OXA Machine]] has been built, lost, and rebuilt many times in Psion history, passing down from civilization to civilization over the ages. <ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry_IV|Entry IV]]''</ref> Its most recent iteration was destroyed by the Cabal, but rebuilt centuries later on [[Brand]] by [[Freeborn Otzot]], a particularly brilliant Psion.

Psions are telepathic and in have limited clairvoyance.

Metaconcerts can be opened to non-psions, such as the [[Loyalists]]' one, of which Emperor Calus was also part. This telepathy may not be wholly consensual, and their higher level thoughts are broadcast to some degree. Psions are also capable of a permanent form of metaconcert called "joining", though this process is only known through "ancient texts of the mind" and the sole example of it in recent history is the fusion of three [[Ozletc, the Sky Piercer|Psion]] [[Tazaroc, the Sun Eater|Flayer]] [[Niruul, the Hollow Voice|sisters]] into [[Inotam, Oblivion's Triune]]. | Psions are telepathic and in have limited clairvoyance.
