✴️ The Partzufim: Faces of the One Divine Species

“The practices do not reflect the face. The face reflects the One.”

In Tevanite Judaism, the Partzufim—literally “Faces” or “Aspects”—are divine manifestations of the Eternal. They are not separate gods, nor are they idols; rather, they are materialized faces of the singular Divine Source, each bearing form, gender, character, and domain. Though they differ in personality, they are of one species, like varied stars born of the same flame.

🕊️ What Are the Partzufim?

The Partzufim are individuated emanations of the One Divine Presence (Ha’Elohim). Each rules over a sphere of creation or moral domain, but all are part of the Divine Whole. As the Shanilohim declares:

“Forget not the Holy One, the Source beyond the skies,For Asherah is a face, and in her the Presence lies.” (Shanilohim 320)

The Partzufim are already materialized, and so representations (images, pillars, statues, drawings) are permissible, so long as they are not worshipped as idols. They are called upon, not bowed to.

🌺 On Misguided Practice and Ethical Restoration

Some ancestors misunderstood the will of the Partzufim, most grievously with Moloch, to whom children were offered in fire. This is condemned:

If the Eternal commanded us to burn children, we would no longer obey. The face of the Divine is not always the voice.

Today, Moloch is reclaimed not as a demon, but as the Face of Fire and Vengeance, whose sacred anger must be transformed, not appeased with cruelty. This aspect is seen throughout scripture and throughout nature.

📜 Ritual Principles

🔥 Representations and Images

  • Partzufim may be depicted—statues, reliefs, or talismans—but must not be bowed to.

  • Each is evoked, not worshipped.

  • Images remind, not dominate. They are presence, not essence.

🍞 Offerings

Offerings are sacramental and shared communally. No food is wasted. Ritual includes:

  • Libations (wine, milk, honey)

  • Burnt offerings (never human lol)

  • Fruits and grains

  • Animal offerings (only in reverence, and always consumed)

“The blood offered upon the steles shall flow,And rise up as incense, where God's will does go.”—Shanilohim 378

✨ Understanding the Divine as Multiplicity-in-One

The Partzufim, though many, are faces of a singular essence. They are not in conflict, but in divine relationship, like married stars orbiting one sun.

Their diversity mirrors our own human world: multiple genders, paths, emotions, roles—but one origin.

They teach us: anger and war have a place (El Shaddai), just as softness and love do (Asherah), just as mystery (Yareakh), justice (Adonai Tzevaot), and joy (Tammuz) do.
