Skeptomorphic Religions

Sketomorphic Religions originate from Eastern Teutalli. They believe in a concept called thoughtforms. These thoughtforms are metaphysical manifestations of ideas, concepts, or knowledge. They are not gods, though at first they may appear to be more or less the same thing. The difference is that gods created birrins (if you believe that sort of thing), whereas either the birrin indirectly create thoughtforms with their collective beliefs, emotions, actions, etc. They are personifications. For instance, the thoughtform of war is not the source of war, as the various gods of war of human mythologies occasionally are, but a product of birrin warfare. It is literally the physical embodiment of the entire concept of war, and exhibits traits attributed to warfare such as cunning and deceitfulness. Gods are either a part of nature, such as the Greek pantheon, or transcendent of it, such as the Judeo-Christian god Yahweh. Thoughtforms are not a part of nature but rather they are a part of the birrin themselves.

It is believed that by channeling their collective faith and energy a group of birrin can construct a powerful god-like thoughtform. The Sijikken and Pyrasians all revere one powerful thoughtform known as the Ethos of Fire.
