Calls To Veneration
As adorers brought the extracted magical trees, their radiant fruits, and their radiant dew for sacrifice, Sefira was pleased that they paid no attention to all the sap that became visible. Before the subjects could consecrate and pile upon the temple altars all of that which had been gathered, the Lesser Darkness beheld the unprecedented magnificence of all the temples and surrounding complexes built for her glory.
By pre-industrial standards, these structures were indeed monumental. No central structure measured less than one hundred sixty meters tall, two hundred thirty meters wide, or two hundred thirty meters long. No inner courtyard was less grand than the outer courtyard of her uncle's eschatological template, revealed to a priestly prophet long ago, and no wall enclosing this courtyard measured less than five hundred fifty meters on any side. No outermost enclosed area measured less than nine hundred meters on any side, and no outermost wall was less than a full kilometer long or wide.
Shifting her focus towards her adorers, the grand honoree heard loud yet melodious calls to veneration coming from all their temples.
"How great are these works of our hands, our temples, O created beings!" came the loud yet melodious calls to veneration twice.
"But greatest is the Active Divine Feminine!" came the massive crowd responses, "Greatest is the Active Divine Feminine!"
"There is no active Divine but the Lesser Darkness!" came the former voices twice.
"As for me and my house, we enter this temple to venerate with awe and dread in your chosen place," came the latter voices twice.
"Hasten to the veneration," came the former voices twice, "Hasten to her providence."
"We come to bow, kneel, and prostrate before she who arose in might to create us," came the latter voices twice.
"The Lesser Darkness, she is the active Divine! The Lesser Darkness, she is the active Divine!" exclaimed the former voices.
"There is no active Divine but the Lesser Darkness!" the latter voices exclaimed to conclude the calls to veneration.
Meanwhile, the Lesser Darkness looked forward to the inevitable mass veneration that was to come.
Author's Note: The inspirations behind the calls to veneration are the Islamic call to worship and Balaam's awe towards the Tabernacle in Numbers 24:5.
Meanwhile, to compare each of the new temples to real-life examples: The central structure is larger than that of Angkor Wat, for it is as tall as the Lincoln Cathedral with its central spire, and as long and wide as the Great Pyramid of Giza. The inner courtyard is larger than the entire Karnak Temple Complex, and is as grand as the outer courtyard of the temple in Ezekiel's prophetic vision. The outermost enclosed area is as long and wide as that of Angkor Wat.
