Oromidic Pantheon

Overview
The Orodmidic Pantheon is one of the newest religions in the kingdom of Orodum. Born out of the Ashes of the old Novaism faith, many themes from the old faith have been transferred over into the new one. Yet its doctrines and practices are almost forgotten.

Origins

Novaism
Novaism is a religious belief originating from the Nation of Aurora Novum, which holds that there is only one God, Nova, who created everything and

revealed himself to the prophet Baked Croissant to spread the good word. Followers of Novaism believe that all other gods are tricks from Vetus, the embodiment of evil, to make them fall from Nova's grace. The religion has a strong emphasis on fire and the Novians who follow Nova use fire as a way to burn sacrifices to him to show respect and gratitude. The religion also features a future king who is expected to reunite the world and implement Novaism as the state religion.

Vranism
Vranism or Vranirism is a monotheistic religion that follows the god of Vranir. Vranism is pretty young because it started when King Silent Whiterose of Credia then just Silent Whiterose, met upon her in a river next to dusktopian, he met her on 20th of June 2020. She then chose him to be the first avatar and founder of Vranism. Vranism is the religion of the country of Credia.

These rituals may include offerings, prayers, chants, dances, and communal gatherings. Rituals serve as a means to connect with the divine, express gratitude, and seek divine intervention or guidance.

cosmology

The Oromidic Pantheon envisions the universe as a grand tapestry of cyclical patterns, where cosmic cycles govern the order and rhythm of existence. These cycles reflect the interconnectedness of all things and the eternal flow of energy and life. They shape the past, present, and future, perpetuating the continuous cycle of creation, growth, dissolution, and rebirth.

Creation and Genesis

The cosmology begins with a primordial state of existence, often referred to as the Void or the Cosmic Womb. From this state, a great cosmic event occurs, igniting the spark of creation. This event heralds the birth of the universe and the emergence of the deities who shape its course.

Expansion and Flourishing

As the universe unfolds, energies surge and cosmic forces interact, resulting in a period of expansion and flourishing. Stars ignite, galaxies form, and worlds come into being. Life manifests in diverse forms, from the smallest organisms to mighty civilizations. This phase represents the peak of vitality, growth, and exploration.

Decline and Dissolution

Following the phase of flourishing, cosmic energies gradually wane, and entropy takes hold. The universe enters a period of decline and dissolution. Stars fade, civilizations crumble, and cosmic forces ebb. It is a time of introspection, reflection, and the gradual return of energy and matter back into the cosmic fabric.

Renewal and Rebirth

Just as decline and dissolution reach their nadir, a transformative event marks the onset of renewal and rebirth. The cosmic cycles initiate a new cycle of creation, sparking a fresh genesis. Deities embodying the forces of renewal and transformation usher in the birth of a new universe, initiating a cycle of expansion, flourishing, decline, and renewal once again.

The Walk

Followers of the Oromidic Pantheon view these cosmic cycles as an eternal process akin to a great wheel, known as the Walk. Souls are believed to traverse this wheel, experiencing multiple incarnations and lifetimes within different cosmic cycles. The ultimate goal is to transcend the wheel, attaining spiritual enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

Through their understanding of cyclical cosmology, followers of the Oromidic Pantheon gain a profound appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and the impermanence of existence. They find solace in the knowledge that even in times of decline and dissolution, the seeds of renewal and rebirth are sown, offering new possibilities and the potential for spiritual growth.

This cyclical cosmology serves as a guiding principle, reminding followers of the ever-changing nature of life and encouraging them to embrace each phase of the cosmic cycle with grace, resilience, and an unwavering spirit of exploration and self-discovery.
