The Smith

Estimated reading: 3 minutes 670 views Contributors

The Smith is the god of creation and productivity, overseeing everything forged, crafted, or repurposed. From the construction of grand castles by teams of skilled builders to the solitary seamstress’s delicate needlework, The Smith’s domain is rooted in the act of making. They take joy in watching people shape raw materials into something new, and in the ingenuity of turning what was once considered old or useless into something functional again.

Symbols – The Hammer, The Anvil, The Gem

Tenet of the Smith

  • Reforge what is broken – Whether an object, a person or an idea, take what is damaged or forgotten and breathe new life into it. In repair and transformation lies new strength. 
  • Perfection through process—Mastery is not gifted but earned. It is found in the dedication and skill poured into every step along the path of practice. Embrace the journey of creation, for every failed pour, warped blade, or snagged hem is a lesson learned on the road to excellence. 
  • Break the Pattern – Born from water, we are forged in fire – It is in the heat and pressure of the forge that the strongest creations are born. We are at our best when we are growing, so challenges and difficulties are not to be feared, but welcomed and overcome.

Aspects of the Smith

The Collector 

This aspect of The Smith embodies a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and artistry. The Collector is fascinated by the value of creation, not in the monetary sense, but in the dedication and skill put into every piece. They seek out objects of fine craftsmanship, inspecting them carefully, learning from how the maker has poured their heart into their work. The Collector often purchases these pieces, sometimes reselling them for less, so others can witness their beauty and appreciate the hands that shaped them. For The Collector, the worth of an item is defined by the story it tells and the mastery behind it, rather than its price tag.

The Miner 

The Miner is a humble, hardworking aspect of The Smith, embodying the grit and perseverance needed to gather the raw materials that fuel creation. Covered in the grime of their labour, The Miner spends their days deep within the earth, searching for the ores, stones, and materials that are the foundation of great works. Often overlooked in the bustle of creation, The Miner draws satisfaction from their quiet work behind the scenes. Followers of The Smith may find themselves blessed by The Miner’s touch with materials appearing just where they are needed, left by unseen, soot stained hands.

The Builder

The Builder is the meticulous, patient hand that ensures things are made strong and true. They are concerned with integrity, from the tallest fortress to the most intricate clock. They never rush the work but offer advice, tools, or assistance to ensure it is done properly. They see every project as an investment in the future, ensuring that the bones of every creation are solid and enduring.
