+Official Title of the god+
1_ Daiah, goddess of the Moon
2_ Princess of the Night
3_ Deity of the Cosmos
+Rules and Restrictions+
1_ The Code of Angstrom is included in the law, but most emphasized after dusk and before dawn. Blessings for infants and others is done personally (see “Calls to Daiah”).
2_ intentionally stomping on or harming of any reflection or representative of the moon and stars (as in the Moon Seal, etc.) is seen as profanity, and may and will effect answers to future pleads.
3_ harming of any kind to wolves is one of the most offensive actions that can be committed. They should be treated as the grandest of creatures of the night. Families of the moon will not have to fear for their safety from such beasts.
4_ “Families of the Moon” are those who are blessed by Daiah in any way. The goddess’ Moon Seal adorns the family home and gear.
+Prayers (Hymns and blessings)+
1_ wishes upon the stars count as minor pleads and are not seen through, but heard subjectively.
2_ there are no true lines for humans to say, merely guidelines for effectiveness.
3_ the “Moonlight prayer” pleads for brighter light at night from the satellite and stars.
4_ the “Dusk and Dawn prayer” is done upon dusk for a blessed night; then upon dawn to thank for that night.
5_ as hymns, play the many scores that exalt the cosmos and the Heavens of dark nights.
6_ favored instrument for these: the Lunar Ocarina (see “Calls made outside of temples”).
+Sacrifices/Offerings/Rituals+
1_ leaving feed for wolves at midnight counts as praising the deity
2_ upon entering a Temple of Daiah, one most carry in hand the blackest of cloths they own, sink it in a pool that has been blessed by moonshine and starlight, then tie it around their wrist before initiation prayer, etc.
3_ a couple in marriage must adorn with crescent moon tiaras, the maiden adding to it a starlit veil; all handed by the deity prior. They should then defend their new family stand of loyalty to Daiah as their second god after Angstrom, or let known their objection.
4_ being an heir of Daiah’s protectiveness does not mean you may not call upon her to cancel it; upon reaching adulthood one chooses to stay or lean towards another god (though it will effect future blessings if they are ever plead).
+Holy Texts+
1_ “Legends of the Wolf and the Moon Goddesses” are tales of how these creatures have become the most cherished allies of the Moon deities, starting with the very first encounter. Each relates an offering or blessing exchanged between the two parties.
2_ “Kiko of the Heavens” tells of how the first pact between these canines and their goddesses was made. “Scindra of the Moon” was his mate and the first female to give birth to celestial-blessed cubs after the pact. It is said that Kiko was found by the stars. Both were blessed with long, almost human-like life and spiritual immortality. It is because of them why humans became dear to Moon deities, more than most gods. It also explains why the beasts howl at night.
3_ “Of Heaven and the Stars” is a more nature-type read. It details of the creation of the cosmos and their common nature and effect on anything living or dead on Earth.
4_ “Biography of the goddess Luna”; this is the predecessor of Daiah, also known as the “Goddess of Beauty” and “The Goddess of Fickleness”. It tells of her reign and death in the last battle of Anthelos.
+Festivals/holidays+
1_ The Birth primarily celebrates the day of the first pact between wolves and the Moon, celebrated on the first full moon of each year. It also celebrates the birth of all Moon goddess followers.
2_ The Death primarily commemorates the end of the lives of Kiko and Scindra (first wolves to make a pact with the Moon deities). It also commemorates the passing of those who were loved or blessed by the Moon goddesses.
