"'Joel Wisten knows the gate. Joel is the gate. Joel is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Joel. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.' - Edvin 'Eggers' Jonsson, Eggbretelser från förr"

Description
Like many Noggaskian gods, Joel Wisten has many different appearances throughout the various stories of the mythos, by various authors. However, there seems to be a common agreement that Joel visually manifests as a mass of glowing orbs, with eyes or tendrils in some versions, and in others simply the orbs. It is heavily implied, if not outright stated, that Joel is omniscient, and is locked outside the universe, meaning he can know and see all of space-time all at once, which means there is no secret hidden from Joel Wisten.

Invocations
Joel is called upon from time to time to assist mortals in performing occult deeds or rituals. The most notable instances of these events are recorded in "The Case of Fredreich Ekkland" and "The Borgwich Horror."
