Lidi'athas

The Lidi'athas, or Divine Ladder, is an Akkalan, and later Calatian, metaphysical representation of the cosmology of Hyrule.

Etymology
Lidi'athas roughly translates to "Divine Ascent" or "Ideal Ascent."

Background
The Lidi'athas, or Divine Ladder, is a recurring symbol in Hyrulean mythology and art, used to represent personal and collective ascent toward the ideal, or Triforce. In simplest terms, the concept visualizes life as a series of rungs, representing failings and passions, to be overcome, with an individual's personal ideal lying at the top of the hierarchy. At the bottom lies Null, or erasure of being. The Calatian model is derived from old Akkalan religious tradition, and represents the rungs as successively overcoming Ego, Control, Wrath, Hunger, Fear, and Malice.

Trivia

 * The Lidi'athas is based on the concept of Jacob's Ladder, a stairwell to heaven dreamed by Jacob in the Old Testament, that serves as a recurring symbol in Abrahamic religion, and was later adopted as an Alchemical and Occult symbol.
