Deät

First Appearance and Context

Deät is invoked within the Hylaean Anathem, the hymn sung during the daily aut of Provener inside the Mynster. In that setting, the singing divides into two lines, one representing Deät and the other Hylaea, as part of a ritual remembrance performed while the great clock is wound.

Description and Role

Within the liturgy, Deät is presented as one of the two daughters of Cnoüs. The musical setting pairs Deät in counterpoint with Hylaea, emphasizing complementary strands in the rite’s cosmological narrative. The text does not define Deät beyond this role in the hymn.

Relationships and Functions

• Parentage: Described as a daughter of Cnoüs.
• Counterpart: Set in deliberate contrast and balance with Hylaea during the hymn.
• Liturgical function: Serves as one of the two personified voices that structure the Hylaean Anathem during Provener.

Current Status

Deät is referenced as a liturgical and cosmological figure rather than as an individual active in events. The name appears in the community’s daily observance and teaching within the Mynster.
