Faith of the Seven

[Fun Guy from Yuggoth]

I figured out where the names of the Seven came from, it is from Wiccan religion.  They have a mother goddess that is split into the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone.  And the Horned Lord is the masculine god, and he is split into the Youth/Warrior, the Father, and the Sage.  The only change to the naming scheme that George made was to alter Sage to Smith.  (which I think is an homage to Clark Ashton Smith who wrote several stories about the Devil inhabiting Mars). 

The Faith of the Seven originated in the Axe in Essos, and aex  means "goat" in Latin, and as @Sandy Clegg pointed out recently, the Axe in Essos is shaped exactly like a goat's head.

The emblem of the Seven is a 7-pointed star, and the emblem of Wicca is a 5-pointed star, pentagram, which represents the goat head of Baphomet.

The Stranger is the Horned Lord himself, the Black Goat, Baphomet, the God of Death, the Seventh God.  And in Welsh, the word "seven" and the word "satan" sound very similar (sath / sathan and saith )  And in the Welsh dictionary Saith "seven" / septem  is directly below the word for "Saxon" and the Andal invasion is modeled directly on the Anglo-Saxon invasion of England, the Andals came from the Axe which is Denmark where the Anglo-Saxons came from. 

Seven male and female gods are aspects of One god who is hermaphroditic, who is the Stranger, who is a god of many faces, who is a shape-shifter, who is the God of Death.  The Faith of the Seven is another version of Black Goat worship.

Now that you mention it, Andalos is right next to Qohor.

Just looked up words that sound like "andal" in Gaelic, and anduil  means "evil creature, monster" and is right below androlaidhe  which means "stranger, wanderer"

and the Andals worship the Stranger, who is the Black Goat, who is an evil creature that is a wanderer from far places.
