Trivia

  • Godhead is another term for Godhood or overall divine nature.
  • Godhead bears resemblance to the Eye of Providence, Eye of God, or The Eye That Sees All, a common Christian religious symbol. The three corners of the triangle may represent each part of the Holy Trinity.
  • The three corners of the triangle may also be a reference to The Mind, The Body, and The Soul items, as the colors of the corners match the colors of the items, that are also unlocked by The Lost.
  • This item appears in the Afterbirth † release date trailer.
