Calcendi
The Calcendi is the symbol of Divara, representing a chalice with a flame inside. 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.
Etymology
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.
