Ilutatsu is a belief focused around nine gods. There is a loose hierarchy among them that focuses on their deeds and general attitudes about them. Most of the time, the deities are portrayed as nonhuman forces.
Matai comes first, as the god of the sky. He is god-emperor of the heavens and the weather, and is portrayed as a yellow dragon.
Next is Naya, queen of the earth and goddess-empress of the ground and mountains. She is portrayed as a green bear, and is the wife of Matai.
Gurani, the deity of the ocean, is next. They are the third of the great deities and represent storms, rain, and water. They are portrayed as a blue fish.
After them come the spirits: Hango, the red tiger spirit of war; Kurubi, the brown ox spirit of strength; Hasu, the yellow rabbit spirit of messengers; Nosu, the blue horse spirit of storms; Igo, the black snake spirit of death; and Pali, the grey rat spirit of mischief and tricksters.
Ilutatsu strongly values honor, truth, and respect for all people. The gods are in the hierarchy they are in because of pure strength and prowess, not a vague definition of worth. They generally believe that an empress recieves the same justice as a peasant. The gods act as impartial judges and forces, rather than behaving at the whims of their will.
There is a belief in both afterlife and reincarnation. One is reincarnated a predetermined number of years after their death, often nine times the number of years they lived.
Shrines are a common sight, as it is believed that the spirits occupy natural spaces, so the shrines are placed at the boundary of the spirit's inhabited area to warn travelers and for people to give offerings. Shrines along major roads form simple communities that serve to help travelers find a place to stay and to promote the preservation of the area.
Based around the stations of the moon as well as five seasons, each ruled over by a minor deity.
Hango is the tiger of summer, and there are seven stations in his house.
Kurubi is the ox of autumn, and there are seven stations in his house.
Igo is the snake of winter, and there are seven stations in his house.
Hasu is the rabbit of spring, and there are six stations in his house.
