Bastetism

Bastetism is a monotheistic religion based on the teachings of Noel Caron and the scriptures written by Caron and the early apostles of the faith.

History
Noel Caron was born in what is now the city of Puran in 291 BRM.

Beliefs
Followers of Bastetism believe in one deity, Bastet. Bastet is characterized as a gentle and kind mother of all creation, seeking to bring peace and love to all.

Bastet is in constant conflict with Sakhet, Bastet's first born child. Sakhet grew jealous of Bastet's love for all of creation and began to wage a war against her mother. Sakhet created dissent against Bastet, and sows the seeds of chaos in the world.

Structure
Bastetism is lacks a singular head of the religion, and is instead primarily composed of Priests in charge of their temples, with Priests having one to three Novice Priests working with them. Priests train Novice Priests to become Priests, with Novice Priests often providing assistance in managing Temple affairs and aiding followers of Bastet.

The Priest class is restricted to only gals, with no guys being allowed to take up the mantle of the Priesthood.

Ceremonies
Bastetist ceremonies are near totally confined to Temple, with ceremonies almost always having a Priest or Novice Priest leading them. These ceremonies range from marriage to funerals, with Priests and sometimes Novice Priests being the 'messenger' between Bastet and the individual or individuals involved in the ceremony.

Scriptures
The Holy Book of the Bastetist Faith is called the Runwe, and it contains the writings of Noel Caron and the early apostles.
