===Ancient Past===
Ancient Psions practiced a form of ancestor worship, communing with the divine spirits of the dead through a Y-goblet that "cupped their spirits" and poured out their souls into new Psions. Worship involved daily rituals in which the Y-goblet was filled with offerings for ancestors, such as water to wash out their eyes,<ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry I|Entry I]]''</ref> salt to roughen their skin,<ref name="EII">'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry II|Entry II]]''</ref> or linen to bind their wounds.<ref name=EVI>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry VI|Entry VI]]''</ref> Other practices included physically drawing the Y-goblet on a nearby surface. Adherents believed that every other person, or at least Psions, had a spark of the divine within them, physically evident in their Y-shaped pupils.<ref name="EIII">'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry III|Entry III]]''</ref>

In prehistory, long before the Psion species joined the Cabal, a group of exceptionally powerful Psions known as the God-Thoughts dominated the species with their psychic abilities. They destroyed the Y-goblet faith for seeing divinity in every common person. Its suppression was so brutal that while the faith survived to the present, its practitioners still feared discovery and worshiped only in secret.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry VIII|Entry VIII]]''</ref>

At some point in their history, the [[The Witness|Witness]] would send his [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]] to shatter the Psion's faith and then become their guide to seek the "truth of the Darkness" so that they might see beyond the [[The Veil|Veil]]. The Witness goal was to have Nezarec sow the seed of discord that would one day pay the way for their [[Final Shape|victory]], to show the Psions the power of the Veil that he possessed and to indoctrinate their race toward the same vision of the Darkness that they represented<ref name="Visitation">'''Bungie (2023/06/04)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Visitation]]''</ref>.
At some point in their history, Psions worshipped the being known as [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]] as a deity. This tradition has continued among at least some Psions until relatively recently; the Psion [[Acasia]], who came to the Sol System at some point post-[[Collapse]] and joined the [[Acolytes of Nezarec]], lost her partner when he was abducted by a group of Psions to be tortured as a sacrifice to Nezarec.
