Elymas was a "magician," and a false prophet, at the time Paul was on his first mission in Cyprus. Elymas was jealous of the gospel that Paul preached and tried to turn the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, away from the faith. Paul told Elymas he would be struck blind for awhile. "Immediately A dark mist fell upon him", and when the proconsul saw Elymas seeking people to lead him by the hand, "he came to believe, for he was astonished by the teaching about the LORD."

  • Elymas, the Unblinking, is a True Goddess. Her spheres were luck; both good and bad, knowledge, secrets, and magic. Elymas was believed to have established many of the world’s ley lines, fonts of power and sacred places. Elymas was a withdrawn and elusive Goddess even before the fall and seldom answered prayers, at least, not in any obvious way. She still had worshippers though and amongst them were scholars, teachers, magicians, alchemists and those in desperate need of some luck or a good turn in life.

  • Elymas, the Unblinking, is a True Goddess. Her spheres were luck; both good and bad, knowledge, secrets, and magic. Elymas was believed to have established many of the world’s ley lines, fonts of power and sacred places. Elymas was a withdrawn and elusive Goddess even before the fall and seldom answered prayers, at least, not in any obvious way. She still had worshippers though and amongst them were scholars, teachers, magicians, alchemists and those in desperate need of some luck or a good turn in life. Her holy symbols are an owl or a crowned eye. Elymas retreated from the world, to Her legendary Athenaeum, after the death of Jeremiah, believing Herself above the ensuing squabbles amongst The Pantheon and long since bored of mortal affairs. Without Her presence, much of the magic and mystical forces in the world have gone astray, resulting in all sorts of horrors and unnatural occurrences.
