Dievas | Triglav | Dodola | |
Who are they? | They are the eldest child of the Sun and Moon. They were created with all the powers of their parents however Triglav and Dodola were created only to keep him company. It was Dievas that created the first humans to do his bidding. He resides in the sky protecting us from the worlds beyond and watching over us. | The 2nd child of the Sun and Moon. They are a God with three faces. It is believed by followers of Triglav that this meant he could always watch over his siblings and mankind making him a Guardian of humanity. As he has three faces he is also more wise than the others making him the most powerful. | The only daughter of the Sun and Moon. She is the mother of all humanity having been impregnated by each of her brothers. To this day all humans are created by Dodola who uses her milk to give strength and life to babies allowing them to develop in the womb. She is closely connected to the forests where it is said she roams to this day. |

Rituals | At sunrise a member of the Household will face the raising sun and give prayers of greeting. At midday prayers are offered directly to Dievas and at sunset prayers to greet the Moon.

It is expected that the family bring with them each week some gift to Dievas. | The faithful pray three times a day usually at the key meals of the day breakfast, lunch and dinner. The faithful make an offering on Fridays at Temple which must come in three parts, usually people offer a plant of some sort, something from an animal and something the family have made. | People are not told how often they have to pray. Prayers are usually offered in the outdoors and it is common for each town or village to have groves of trees where ribbons are tied to branches as part of prayer. At four set times a year unmarried women dress in outfits made of natural materials such as leaves, grasses etc and dance through the streets singing sacred songs. |
Views of Marriage | Marriage is between one man and one woman for life. Divorce is seen as going against the will of the God. | Texts state that Triglav took a wife for each face. Therefore male polygomy is allowed by the faith but with a maximum of three wives. | Marriage should happen at a young age and is for life between one man and one woman. |
Views of Abortion | Life begins from the moment of conception. Abortion is not sanctioned by the Bard of Dievas unless not having an abortion would leave a family without a mother. | Abortion is permitted only on two conditions.

Views on "After-Life" | Upon death Dievas determines whether you have been worthy of living. If you are you go to a Paradise, if not you are totally destroyed. | The faces of Triglav are each connected to either good, evil or forgiveness. Upon death Triglav's face examine the soul of the dead and the face that recognises them best "claims" them. If good claims you then you go to paradise, if evil claims them then your soul is destroyed if forgiveness claims you then you are given a 2nd chance. You only get two chances. | Should you live a good life you are taken to a woodland paradise to live forever with mythical spirits who help the Goddess. Evil doers are consigned to running through an endless forest being chased by wolves who daily rip you apart only for you to be whole the next day. |
Views on Gender & Sexuality | There are two genders. Hetrosexuality is the normal way of living. Members of the LGBT have been corrupted by evil. | There are only two genders.

The Goddess creates us all and makes no mistakes. If you are therefore LGBT it is because the Goddess had a reason for you being so. LGBT individuals are therefore accepted by the faith. |
