Polypodyism

'Polypodyism is not necessarily a religion, but instead a chain of beliefs on symbols or representations. There are no gods and no practices. For example: the swan represents beauty, grace, freedom and courage, but it's not a god and there no sacrifices to it. The frog or toad represents: love, prosperity, the home and the hearth and their song is thought to be songs of healing and youth. Ducks represent: steadfastness, determination and sturdiness.

There are bad symbols too. The log creatures that hide in the mud drove the people into the caverns and burrows and they represent what's hidden within all of us.

History
