TRADITIONAL DRUIDISM

After completing the Anthros, the Great Mother rejoiced in creating new life forms. It was inspired by the work of the Ancients Fallen, and thus, magnificent creatures were born from her love, such as karkinos, griffins, qilin, and faeries. Then, she gave birth to the three-headed, fair and strong Hydras, to bring balance between drakes and wyverns. Afterwards, she decided that her work was good and well done, so she forcefully planted her weapon, the Bark Spear, in the depths of the planet, right in the center of the great equatorial jungle of the southern continent, releasing all its power into it. Finally, she gave her divine spark to the universe to create the deities and then let herself fall into Eternal Numbness.

The Bark Spear, stuck in the depths of the planet, not only led to the creation of the Forge of the Eternals, a deep complex of rock, soil, roots, and lava hidden underground, in which all the natural elements mix until they merge. But it also released all its power, soaking the planet with lines of divine energy that have since crossed it like a web inside, like the veins in which the blood of the planet itself flows.
Thanks to these veins of power, the consciousness of the Great Mother never really separated from the planet, as it did for the Ancients Fallen. It still continues to bestow her love on the creatures that inhabit it. The Great Mother Yanìs bestows her gifts in balance among all, regulating every aspect of life on the planet: life and death, day and night, warm and cold, prey and predators, abundance and famine, health and pestilence.
Everything is regulated starting from the Bark Spear, the beating heart of the planet. To venerate the Great Mother means not to interfere with the cycle of life and, indeed, to do everything possible to ensure that this balance always remains intact. There are two main promoters and protectors of the faith and balance of nature: the Hydras, who protect and preserve the places most sacred to the Great Mother, where her power is stronger and more alive than ever; and the Druids, priests of balance and spiritual guides for those races and societies who prefer to turn their hearts and prayers to the Great Mother rather than the deities, or together with the deities.

Faith in natural balance is a complex and demanding practice, as it implies living in an advanced society while still remaining animals. The equilibrium of all the cycles of life must remain intact, and this assumes not interfering with anything that makes up this balance. In particular, the difficulty lies above all in living on what nature bestows. Although agriculture is accepted by Druidism, it should always be within the limits of individual needs and always respecting the natural times of growth and maturation and the seasonal cycle.

Most Druids teach that it is always preferable to live by harvesting rather than cultivation. Likewise, breeding should be avoided, and many herdsmen see themselves more as herd keepers than actual breeders. This therefore implies that the few carnivorous Anthro races that follow the Druidic faith often live exclusively on hunting and fishing. But the real difficulty lies in exploiting what nature bestows for the construction and advancement of society. Building a wall with only fallen (not felled) trees, and developing a crafting based on the same principle is very difficult. But this is the life asked by the ancient dogmas of the Great Mother Yanìs.
