They worship the demiurge as their G-d, they can't even spell it correctly. They seem to worship the Sophia as well with all their Shikini glory bullshit too.
Shekinah does seem to be an allusion to Sophia or the Divine Feminine. I had to scrutinize the texts and their practices more before I first realised and it clicked into place. I remember one Jew kind of giving it away when they said the Catholic Holy Spirit figure is Mother Mary (or the Great Mother), in an attempt to explain how Catholics are idolaters.
In their worldview the Shekinah and Demiurge are just two components that emanated from the same primordial androgyne being, the "first matter." Since they believe that they possess immaterial, immortal souls, and we do not, they believe that they are all equally divine, since they all have 'sparks' of Shekinah or Sophia, who is the immaterial one. But they also have this gnostic view of the material world, and want to be materially blessed, and so they practice all the forms of obeisance or blood sacrifice required of them by their demiurge God.

Yaldabaoth ('Baal' or the Demiurge) is depicted as a primordial serpent with the head of a lion. https://pic8.co/sh/3MzUlA.jpg https://pic8.co/sh/RXMpdK.jpg (Notice the sigil of Saturn at the bottom)
