Angelicism

History
Angelicism began it's expansion inside of The Kingdom of Dova after the acquiring of new territories south of Mushroomicania. Alongside a grand sword being displayed in the dead center of a field, a chapel was found in the dark oak forest east of the blade. It's practice fell upon 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, aiming to bring people in rather than expanding outwards.

A major text inside of the religion is The Epic of HOLY! which was said to contain a story of the HOLY! and it's forming of all the angels. Through it, the first devoted converted it's key factors into the current Deck of HOLY!. However after being given to the First Devoted, The HOLY! did a silly willy and burned the text in front of them. It's said that in the event that it is ever reformed the deck may be able to expand further, though common belief is that this is not to happen soon.

Core Beliefs
The core beliefs of Angelicism are 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. It conveyed it's power into 7 angels that speak to and guide people towards "Absolution" (Meaning Perfection).

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 Deck of HOLY!
The "Deck of HOLY!" is a deck of cards each relating to the spirits within Angelicism. Devoted in the religion may use these cards to do many things from asking for advice from the angels to finding the inner turmoil of suitors. The deck in total consists of 50 cards, though only those who are Devoted may hold and know all 50 intimately as they know how to store and cut the deck. The direct meaning of each of the angels and their cards is withheld from public eye as to keep a complete deck becoming available for Un-Devoted to use.

The Angels
One of the key beliefs in Angelicism is that there are spirits, 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 Absolution. Primary symbols of their action are shown through clear revealing's of light. (Some of which include tame examples alike candles lighting. However it may also include the razing of fields of the angels see it fit.)

Messenger
The Messenger is found to be best interpreted and personified through many key symbols represented on it's cards. First is shown as the angel is a personified human form. They have a solid gold halo around their head that merges alongside an imagined hourglass engraved into it. Multi cultured cloths drape over The Messengers visible torso. Their right hand bears a quill to write in a book pictured in front of them floating on clouds. Their left hand bring an apple up to their face, crisp and perfectly absent of rot or age. In a simplified deck the angels cards all simply have a halo pictured in the center.

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.
