Impact Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 So I happened to be randomly reading about Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) and I noticed it talked about the idea of creation being a part of the "Shattering of Divinity" into 10 vessels. I wonder if that was at all an inspiration for Adonalsium and the shattering. Not really going anywhere with this, I just thought it was kind of cool https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sefirot#Lurianic_Shevirah_(Shattering)_and_Tikun_(Rectification) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he definitely got some Kabbalah inspiration. I do still wonder about the shattering part, but this WoB is great, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander89 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Sanderson has a good way of including a whole load of religious aspects and shaping them to be their own aspects within the Cosmere. He certainly draws on personal experience and, although some of his views I do not agree with, is pretty open with the concepts of deities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
