Sainte Morte
-Death saint/deity possibly from Marai deity
-Growing popularity in Satucin
-Difficult to gauge when it is considered 'real' religious practice vs. people joining in on a cultural phenomenon.
-Catholic Church increasingly focusing on combating it
-Becoming adopted by organised gangs which is affecting its reputations
Trinity
-Started by ultra-Catholics who sought to stamp out Sainte Morte and other synceretised or new age movements
-Special veneration placed on the 'Female Trinity': Mary, Mary Magdalene, Saint Chloe (popularly formulated as Mother of God, Bride of God, Maiden of God)
-Supported by some elements of the Satucine Catholic Church, but others more wary.
-Some followers become more and more zealous, adding new rituals and beliefs which aren't entirely Sotirian and are aimed around purely combating Sainte Morte.
-Popular beliefs include all three ascending to heaven alive (and therefore conquering death)
-Ezekielanism infiltration: some believe that all three are linked to the Jesus Bloodline - Mary is Jesus' Mother, Mary Magdalene is Jesus' wife and Ezekiel's mother, Saint Chloe will return from heaven and marry Ezekiel's purest descendant and bring forth the Final Messiah. This will complete the True Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, the Holy Spirit | Jesus Sotiras, Ezekiel Khristos, the Final Messiah | Mary Mother of God, Mary Magdalene, Saint Chloe)
-Increasingly adopted by vigilantes and functionalists
Yamaghora
-Name from Sisulu (Xhosa) Amagorha - meaning heroes (y- meaning the, or some bad translation?)
-Heavily based on Bahian religions, mixed with Sotirianity, with touches of Zohism and Irfan
-Deity a mixture of [Bahian trickster god here], Jesus Sotiras, and Tsumin, in that order.
-Bobo Ashanti aesthetic
-Linked to other !Rastafari/Vodun etc. movements in the Arucian?
Alligator religion
-The meme come to life IC
-Basically Jediism in the UK but in Satucin, bored people filling in the census that they worship an alligator god
-Turns out there's an indigenous alligator-themed god that they steal and create an internet pseudo-religion around
-some people take it way too far, others keep it chill
-debate over whether they have basically destroyed an indigenous deity/religion, rituals, and traditions for memes
