The practice of Mos Maiorum focused on the worship of four goddesses—Veturia, Aelia, Septimia, and Hostilia—each of whom is linked to one of the four seasons.
Mos Maiorum is also broken down into two distinct cults, the Cult of Transformation—which focuses on growth and change—and the Cult of Preservation—emphasizing the maintenance of balance and the status quo. The mythology of Mos Maiorum has Veturia and Septimia as the Goddesses of Transformation whereas Aelia and Hostilia serve as the Goddesses of Preservation.
