Religion

Freyism

Freyism, also sometimes spelled Fréjism or Frahjism, is a religion surrounding the goddess Freya (commonly spelled by Olbans as "Fréja" or "Frahja"), believed to be the goddess of love, war, and beauty. Freyists believe that life was a gift by Freya, and worship her, sometimes dedicating their entire lives to her as a way to show their appreciation for her gifting them life. Many Freyists believe love is the greatest thanks you could give to Freya, and get married or have relationships solely for this reason. There is a common practice with Freyists where they wear a collar with a bell, such as the one Mira and Lukas wear. It is to show that they believe in Freyism. This started as a movement in Lenstruyna against the government in Apryosi in the 1950s and has since then been a popular thing for Freyists all around the world.

 Many things in the world are based on Freyist beliefs, such as Freyalian magic and Freyaline and Lovemian crystals. People often associate Olbans with Freyism, but not all Olbans believe in it. The heart symbol is also associated with Freyism and believed by Freyists to be the symbol of Freya. Freyism is the majority religion in countries like Fluoi Drines and Olbania.

Freyism is also slightly polytheistic as a majority of Freyists believe the Moon, Varahi, Ebrya, and the Sun are Disciples of Freya and demigods or full Gods on their own, but not all Freyists worship the "Disciples" like they worship Freya.

Venism

A religion surrounding a goddess known as Venus; the Goddess of love, beauty, and desire. The most common interpretation of Venus is that she was a goddess formed from the sea, born as a ragdoll cat with multiple eyes and wings (more modernly, with gills and/or webbed paws) and learned to spread ideas of love and beauty across the world. The ideals associated with Venus overlap with the goddess Freya, so much so that even the heart symbol is also very commonly associated with Venus. It is believed that Venus may have been conceptualized in another part of the world to purposely be an alternate version of Freya.

Despite the similarities between Freya and Venus, Venists and Freyists have had a long history of not getting along and Venists are even not allowed to convert to Freyism in the most popular Freyist Church in Lenstruyna. Still, there are some polytheists that believe in both and either believe they are lovers or sisters. There are also small groups of people across the world that believe in both Goddesses and only them, known as Vey-Freyists.
