Thank you so much for pursuing this so rigorously. Glad you made some connections with Hesychasm (stillness), the mysticism of the Eastern Church. Athonite monks, like the descenders also prayed with their head bent towards their knees - of “naval gazing” renowned. Perhaps both are picking up on 1 Kings 18:42?

No, Judaism is pretty aniconic.

Have you ever found any good images of what angels look like in this tradition?

You know, a black metal style t-shirt that just says MERKAVAH would be pretty dope.

Another reason why I should put on my reading glasses: I thought it said, “Goats of the Merkavah Mysticism” 😂 I’m excited for it, even though it’s not Black Phillip, after all. 🖤
