==The Calcendi==

The symbol of Divara is the [[Calcendi]] – combining ''cáliz'' (chalice) with ''encendido'' (lit/kindled/aflame), this name directly evokes the image of the chalice that is actively burning with the divine flame. It represents Alturión creating the universe via a fire in the empty bowl that existed before.

The symbol began as a chalice with flames inside, drawn from the original practice of literally burning a substance inside a chalice. It then simplified so that the present symbol is only barely recognisable as such.

Some depictions of the Calcendi are very elaborate but the Priestesses prefer the simpler versions.
