Storeagableism

Prospect/idea of Storeagableism
Storeagableism is the belief that the worlds are contained in shulker boxes (managed by unknown entities) and that all shulker hold celestial properties and should be recognised as so. Followers believe so because their world behaves somewhat like shulkers (eg. new creatures being discovered/removed, new lands being discovered/removed, etc.).

The Floating Shulker
Storeagableism was founded in Akirashalam near when Aristios fell. Globblet Akira noticed something strange in the church that was built in the wall which was currently just a random building. He noticed that there was a floating shulker in the middle of it. He wondered who could've put that there and why was it floating. He did not know so he just took it since shulkers were quite expensive and a free shulker would've been nice.

The next day, his new shulker disappeared. He did not know where it went so he just thought that somebody stole it, but then when he went back to the church, the shulker was back there. It seemed quite confusing why it kept returning there and these events repeated a few times until it convinced him the shulker might have had a mind of its own.

The Discovery
He would start experimenting with the shulker, like putting things in the shulker and moving it certain distances. At first, nothing seemed unusual (eg. the shulker still containing the items, the shulker coming back to it's spot, etc.), until one day, he noticed that the items he put in the shulker started to disappear. It would seem as if this was the way to making offerings to gods or whatever celestial being that is ruling this plane.

It might just be someone playing tricks on him, so he also tested that theory out. He put some cobblestone in the shulker and watched it for days, and when he reopened it, the cobblestone was gone. This little test might not work but for now, it seemed like he just discovered something that might be extraordinary. It was a huge discovery and that made him start believing in religion, but starting a religion wasn't easy. It would take some time before he could start spreading his idea.

The Problem
The walls of akirashalam was the place containing these shulkers, and the problem was that he needed to move them. He needed to try to lure this shulker to a new spot but he didn't know how. He realised, he could just hold on to the shulker. All those times, he was placing the shulker somewhere, which meant it could just go back to it's old spot.

So for now, he would hold onto his shulker box until he found a new place for it, but it found a place itself. The next day, he awoke to find that the shulker disappeared from his possession. He didn't know where it went so he just looked for it. It took him many days to find it again, but he found that it arrived into one of the empty rooms of the catacombs. It seemed to fit this shulker so he would start working on making a room for this shulker.

Item Offering
Followers have a practise where they put items in the shulker to offer to the gods, like perhaps rare materials or gems, artifacts or gold, etc. They have learnt that depending on the value of the items they offer, the gods may twist events into said person's favor, perhaps they could get luckier while fishing, or get more ores while mining. But if they offer something that is of no use or perhaps is even worse, the gods shall punish them by doing the opposite.

This ritual is usually performed in the city of Akirashalam because the main shulker resides there therefore making said practise easier to preform and since at the time, Akirashalam is the only city that adopted the religion of Storeagableism.

Levitation Dance
This is a dance was originally practiced by an unknown religion similar to Storeagableism. It is unknown whether if this was a religion or just a cultural thing to do since shulkers have been around for ages. Long beforeefore Storeagableism was founded (Globblet the founder of the religion) discovered scrolls near his homeland (the scroll was written using pictures so you don't need many decrypting skills to solve it). This land wasn't Eldham and he wasn't familiar with his homeland so he does not know which religion this originates from and if said religion is still around so he decided to implement this ritual to his religion.

If the name doesn't explain enough, this ritual is basically one where you levitate around any shulker (it doesn't have to be the holy shulker) and move around it. Of course, you do have to do a bit of dancing, but it can be very basic. You can just float around without any intent or you can do some complex dances, but whatever dance you do, it would still count.

Blood/Creature Sacrifice
More violent branches of the Storeagableism religion may prefer to sacrifice animals or creature, or give an offering of their blood to their god. This practice is quite uncommon though, since most followers of this religion are quite peaceful resulting in this type of ritual to be quite uncommon and sometimes believed to be frowned upon by the gods.
