God in the tradition is Shiva this is because Shiva symbolically represents the element of Akasha. This element is called spirit in the west and prana in the east. Akasha is the element that represents the causal body the Atman in the east that is why the Shiva linga of this body is shown as bright luminous ether and formless. This is the element of the universe that the astral and the material worlds form and are within to different levels. And why the Magnum Opus is possible. Its the divine force within the Isha Devata. We don't need to worship externally what we are already.
Interesting the serpent of Satan is mentioned to be this pure essence within us and the power to transform us into the state of pure energy. Satan created us to ascended to the state of Shiva.
Shiva was called Buddha originally this relates to Shiva as pure consciousness in the east the practices dealing with the Buddhaya chakra are for awakening the mind.
