Worship
Alliances are formed with specific Gods and Goddesses. The bond which develops is closer to an older brother/sister (or father/mother) type relationship than a subservant relationship. The foundation of this mutual relationship is based on trust and respect. All parties involved respect each other in a family way.


Morning Ritual
Each morning prepare for the day by reciting a binding affirmation to the Gods and Goddesses.

Evening Ritual
Each evening give respect and veneration to the Gods and Goddesses.

Yearly Ritual
Set aside one day each year to remind yourself of who you are and how far you have come in the last year.

Seasonal Rituals
Perform a simple "reminder" ritual for each of the main seasons.


Funeral Rites
If a man or woman is well respected in their community, the loss to the entire community will be felt for years or decades afterward they have passed. Traditional funerals are helpful in providing the community with not only a remembrance of the departed one but also to remove any doubt that the person is still among the living. The funeral rites of my religion are somewhat different. The funeral rites consist of two parts. The traditional part which is for the benefit of the entire community and the personal part which is solely for the benefit of the departed.

Personal Rites
Final rites do not require an elaborate ceremony. They should however be done with respect as they are extremely important. Final rites can be performed by a single person or can be a community effort. Usually final rites are performed by only a few of the closest members to the deceased.

Silver Shards
If cremated, several small silver shards or a few silver coins are to be intermixed with the body. If buried, a few silver coins are to be used. This is to be performed in a "timely" fashion.

Silver Spike
The funerary spike is a small silver spike usually less than 10cm in length with the name, title and a short statement inscribed along the shaft. The funerary spike is to be driven into the ground. The location is not overly important however the spike must ultimately be in a location where it will not be disturbed. Again, this is to be performed in a "timely" fashion.
