Yurushism

Yurushism is a now-dead, very opened, non-theistic and shamanistic religion, founded and created by Yurushi.

It was first made to oppose war and bring peace, but failed due to the fact that Yurushi did the unthinkable plan of destroying the tree farm and destroying the farm just because he's bored with the floating islands being empty 24/7 when he joined. And that he left without any reason to return, leaving the religion to remain dead afterwards.

The belief of the Gan
When it was created, it used to be a moon goddess. Hitting the sky with the stick.

But then there’s the spirits called the Gan, although to his words, they are not spirits but winds wandering around.

He believes the Gan are the ones who does the lifting of the floating blocks, which meant to be that they are strong enough to lift a single or more blocks, both big and small.

They pair themselves to form groups, and to hold any other heavy blocks.

He believes that they are the ones who strengthened the bedrocks to the point that it can hold a lot of blocks including huge mountains while avoiding the fall to the endless void.

He uses the Gan as helpers, believing that putting any items inside that chest will give someone the way to get wish like a wishing well.

The belief of being cleansed, and being clean
Cleansing by soul and mind, is a made up belief by Yurushi to believe that cleansing is the good way.

And being clean from infection and pollution is the second part of Yurushism’s simple task.

The belief of calmness
It is believed that after a stress day, when coming home shall meditate till being calmed.

The belief of the Nanko
the Nanko are the virgin shamans/priests whose job is to well be a shaman. In belief, they have shrine maiden clothes, but instead of red, it's black.

They have to keep their virginity, which means not to marry people. They can walk outside wandering around the city before going back home.

Yurushi is a Nanko himself according to him, but didn't wear what he imagined of a Nanko. So by any case, he acts like a priest when he isn't officially a priest by the name.

Yurushi Gates
They are the type of gates that are shaped like a man with a long nose, they have torches on top of them, and one chest on the bottom.

(5 fences tall, three fences wide)

They’re the symbol of the Yurushism.

Though, there's no longer anymore new gates when the founder left. So they'll have a chance of being destroyed. Since there will be few left or none.

The belief of the stick
To better understand, although the stick is weak. The stick for some reason cannot break while hitting or attacking, unlike the weapons which are strong but can break after a while, according to him.

That fact turns the stick into the main item of Yurushism, as it is used by the Nanko, for religious purposes.

The ritual of the wishing well
Before the concept of being the wishing well, it was gonna be a ritual for forgiveness by putting any currency inside the chest and then bow, according to him.

But now, it's for wishing. Wishing for something to solve the problem.

The belief of the helmet
It is said that helmets are the way of protection from the wetness of rain and/or the thunder.

It is mostly the iron helmets, as it is in the middle between the weak helmets and the strong helmets.

The freedom of creating doctrines
It is said that anyone can create doctrines, and it will be approved well.

𝐈 - Churches, shrines, temples
Yurushism lacks churches, shrines, and temples. The only ‘shrine’ is Sanjo_11 but that wouldn't last forever.

𝐈𝐈 - Holy books
Keep in mind, Yurushism does have a holy book. Which is hidden in Yurushi's old shrine.

There will be some chance of being stolen by someone, so have fun finding it.

It's outdated, and doesn't even mention the Gan at all, because he didn't create the Gan concept yet.

𝐈𝐈𝐈 - Mythology
Yurushism doesn't have a fully developed mythology to tell.

𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐈 - Doesn't have many rituals
Yurushism only has three rituals.

Two being normal rituals, and the other is provided by Yurushi.

𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐈 - Marriages and death ceremonies
For death ceremonies.

Yurushism does have some good connections with death ceremonies, at least one time of course, but never directly involved with death and afterlife.

For marriages.

It doesn't existed in Yurushism, so it's forbidden for now.

The 3th ritual
The third ritual is only used by Yurushi, which is…

every single night when the moon shows.

The Yurushi gate balances with the moon going through.

For some reason, Yurushi bow to the moon, hitting the sky with his stick, and dancing around being crazy.

While wearing his iron helmet.

I don't know why, maybe it's his last remains of his first worship.

The remaining rules of Yurushism
𝐈. Thy must show respect people who show respect thee too, till they're thy enemies.

𝐈𝐈. Thy must do the right choice.

𝐈𝐈𝐈. If not necessary, shall not care.

𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐈. If necessary, don't wasting it all.

Worships before the Gan
Yurushi once worships a god, named Vat.

Then, Yurushi decided to worship two more deities.

Two females.

Amatsukihime Pomeruma, Enamera, and Vat.

Afterwards, Yurushi erases Enamera and Vat’s existence.

He then sticks with Amatsukihime Pomeruma, the moon goddess.

But, he scraps Amatsukihime after he uses the Gan concept.

From a polytheistic religion, to a monotheistic religion, to a non-theistic religion.

Though, his little belief of shamanism survived from being replaced.

So it's a non-theistic religion, and a shamanistic religion.

While it's busy being dead
It's very opened for everything. Anyone can be the follower of it if they wanted to or not, since Yurushi isn't around anymore.

Especially that anyone can modify it for themselves, and do whatever they want to do with it.

And to simply put it, it'll be eating a lot of popcorn while chaos are erupting in both Eldham and Rathnir, with less care about what's happening.

Mythical creatures of Yurushism
Although it is only intended to be a non-theistic and shamanistic, it is in fact have mythical creatures that Yurushi believe in.

Catdevil
In Yurushism belief. They look like a human child, the size of a baby villager, they float around.

They have no hands, but strings attached to the arm, the strings holds the bells.

Those bells are very noisy.

They have fangs that can suck blood out of victims, no matter what age, they suck them out of sight.

They have sticky lips that sticks others to hide their mouth, when opening, they have their lips torn open to reveal those fangs, and when they close, the lips sticks back together.

They are self-produced, when they birth, they barf the baby out of their mouth till a baby is born and alive.

Their clothes, strings, bells, and boots are part of their skin, and born like that.

They like to trick victims into believing something.

They can be innocent, dangerous, or even both at the same time, but they’re mostly dangerous because of what they drink.
