Angelicism

History
Angelicism began inside of The Kingdom of Dova after the acquiring of new territories south of Mushroomicania. It's beliefs fell to the ears of the Grandeur-Dova who saw it as near heresy in the eyes of Novaism. However after the Head Devoted and Great Prophet of the 2 religions came to meet, they agreed upon little conflict without lots of discussion to back it. Angelicism so far has remained a very native religion to Dova, primarily bringing people in rather than expanding outwards.

Core Beliefs
The core beliefs of Angelicism are centered around the idea that there is a divine being known as the HOLY! that came into being when the first light existed in the world. The HOLY! is believed to be all-knowing, all-powerful, and ever-present.

The HOLY!'s Light
Believers in Angelicism have the goal of getting as close to The HOLY! as possible through all matters of worship, meditation, and communication with the angels. Observing the cards and their meanings one can ideally come to find a line of action they can take to improve themselves or the world around them to attain something closer to perfection. Personifying this ideal can be best done through the Single open card of the deck, "Absolution". As to quote the devoted' scripture:

"Absolution represents The HOLY! inside of the deck. In all, other angels represent single goals and divisions of The HOLY!'s perfect light. When spending thought on the topic of perfection, it's best to imagine it as a single striking light entering the prism into a spectrum of Beautiful color, as is shown on the card. Each color may show that The HOLY! when perceived in this way may allow us to realize the beauty in isolated perfection, yet it does not turn us away from Absolute Perfection."

The Angels
One of the key beliefs in Angelicism is that there are messengers, known as angels, who act as intermediaries between the HOLY! and humans. These angels are believed to deliver messages, protect humans, and guide them towards the path of righteousness.

Messenger
In the religion of Angelicism, the Messenger is believed to be an angel who represents the Holy. This angel is described as a being of light who has a single halo above their head. They dress themselves in sentimental clothes and trinkets from all the lands they preached. Although their clothes don't match, they still create a beautiful and meaningful ensemble, which is like a canvas of cultures painted with different strokes. The Messenger is seen as a divine figure who has been sent by the Holy to spread its message and teachings to the people. They are highly respected and revered by followers of Angelicism.

Merciful
In the religion of Angelicism, the Merciful is believed to be an angel who represents the judgment of the HOLY! They are like a spirit in the form of an angel and they wear robes made of silk in colors that have never been seen before. They are unable to see the world with their physical eyes, but instead, they see through the lens of justice and not prejudice. The Merciful is often seen as a compassionate and kind angel who embodies the virtues of mercy and forgiveness. They are there to guide and protect the followers of Angelicism, to ensure that they are always on the path of righteousness and that they are always showing compassion towards others.

Guide
The guide in Angelicism is a manifestation of the holy way and truth. They wear gloves made of pure white silk and are said to help sinners find their way to Angelicism. When a sinner converts to Angelicism, it is said that they take the hand of the guide, and their sins are removed, leaving a red stain on the gloves. However, these stains can be removed through good deeds and actions. The guide is a symbol of the path that followers of Angelicism should take, leading them towards righteousness and purity.

Caretaker
The Caretaker is like a mother figure within the religion of Angelicism. They represent the love and nurturing nature of the Holy. Just like a mother takes care of her children, the Caretaker takes care of all the people who follow the religion. They are an example for all the priests in the religion to follow, to treat everyone like their own child, to take care of them, raise them, and nurse them.

Healer
In the religion of Angelicism, the Healer is an angel who is believed to have the power to heal people not only physically, but also emotionally and spiritually. They are seen as a tool of the Holy to help those in need. The Healer is not necessarily a medical doctor, but they are someone who can offer a cure for diseases, pain and suffering through their words and actions. It is believed that their touch can heal the sick and the wounded, and their words can soothe troubled souls. They are also said to be able to bring an end to famine and other sufferings through their loving embrace. The Healer is a symbol of hope and comfort in times of distress and is highly revered in the religion of Angelicism.

Seer
The Seer is a spiritual entity that represents the wisdom and foresight of the Holy. They are believed to have an infinite number of eyes that can see and understand everything, from the past to the present and even the future. They use their knowledge to guide the followers of Angelicism, helping them make wise decisions and avoid dangerous situations. The Seer is highly respected within the religion, and their guidance is sought after by many.

Warrior
In Angelicism, the Warrior is the physical embodiment of the eternal passion of the Holy. They wear armor made of broken steel from fallen men, symbolizing the broken passion, families, and lives left behind. The Warrior's appearance can cause madness in those who resist the passion of the Holy. The Warrior guides followers to be one with the passion of the Holy and not swim against the river of their faith.

The Deck of HOLY!
The "Deck of HOLY!" is a deck of cards each relating to the pantheon of Angelicism. Devoted in the religion may use these cards to do many things from asking for advice from the angels to finding the inner wishes of a Suitor if need be. The deck in total consists of 50 cards, though only those who are Devoted may hold and know all 50 intimately.
