Althaeinism is a monotheistic religion primarily based on the life and teachings of Mykalis Althaea. It is the largest religion in Kalavik, with roughly 12.4 million followers. Its adherents, known as Althaeists, make up almost the entirety of Mykalimonia. Althaeists believe that Mykalis is the Daughter of God, whos arrival as the Savior was prophesied in the Ancient Juliaen Thrýlos (the Old Covenant in Althaeinism) and chronicled in the Pristine Covenant.
Althaeinism commonly holds Mykalis as the Daughter of God, who ministered, suffered, and died on a stake, but departed from her body for the liberation of humankind; and referred to as the message. Describing Mykalis' life are the six canonical messages of Lyra, Halcyon, Leon, Daphnis, Astraia and Kallista with the Old Covenant as its respective prologue.
Etymology
Early Althaeists before Mykalist's death referred to themselves as Mykalists. After her death, Mykalis is noted to explain in most canonical messages that the followers must remain with Mykalis' maiden name, Althaea. Mykalis further proclaims in scripture that after she rises up from her body, that she will enter whoever opens their hearts to her. Many Althaeists describe themselves as sons and daughters of Mykalis and God. Many references during the Exodus from Peraro Krotoik support the use of these terms.
Beliefs
Although almost all Althaeists in Mykalimonia share much of the same convictions, there are some differences in interpretation of the Thrýlos and sacred traditions that the faith is based upon.
Dogma
A principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true are known to be dogma. In Althaeinism a number of these began to develop shortly after the exile from Peraro Krotoik, with few becoming official per the biological descendants of Mykalis. "Mykalis is Our Lady", is one of the earliest recorded statements in the Thrýlos and continues to be used today by many adherents.
Used in liturgical and catechetical formations across the entire country of Mykalimonia, the Astral Creed is the most widely used dogma. This creed was developed during the 2nd to 5th centuries. Its central docrines include those of the Quadrinity and God the Divine Creator. Each doctrine can be traced to statements that are current with the period when Mykalis lived. Its points included:
- Belief in God the Divine Creator, The Mother as the Divine Creation, who bore Mykalis as the Daughter of God, and the Mystic and Divine Pneuma
- The death, and the ascension of Mykalis
- The Divinity of the Church
- Mykalis' second intervention, salvation of the faithful and Divine Judgement for the unfaithful
Mykalis
The central figure of Althaeinism is the belief in Mykalis as the Daughter of God and the Savior. Althaeists believe that Mykalis was anointed through The Mother whom was anointed by God as the savior of mankind and hold that Mykalis' inclusion to the world was the fulfillment of the Old Covenant. The core belief is that belief in and acceptance of the burning and ascension of Mykalis, sinful humans may be reconciled and saved from God's fiery wrath as Mykalis' was subjected to, and are offered salvation and the promise of immortality, which continues after death.
There are currently some theological discussions throughout Mykalimonia that argue whether Mykalis was fully divine and fully human, or one of the two. The natural belief of Althaeists include that Mykalis is the second incarnation of God, after the Mother whom conceived Mykalis, and therefore envelops being both human and divine. Mykalis, having been human, suffered the pains and temptations of being a mortal human, but did not sin. According to the Pristine Covenant, as a fragment of God she disconnected from her mortal body, ascended to The Stars where she is seated next to God and the Mother, who died at the time when Mykalis died, and will be sent by God to intervene a second time to fulfill the pristine prophecy, including the ascension of the dead, the Divine Judgement, and the the final establishment of the Heavens.
In accordance to the canonical messages, Mykalis was born from the virgin XXXX, and anointed with the Mystic and Divine Pneuma. A bit of Mykalis' life is recorded in these messages. In contrast, her adulthood consisting of ministry, especially the time before her death is well described in the Pristine Covenant. Some of her ministry included: her anointment, miracles, preaching, deeds, teachings, and prophecies.
