Ethanania's main principals are that they revolve around dimensional travel and exploring other worlds not of our own. There are others who come to earth and people of earth go elsewhere. Through it all, lies the CT, or Old Magic, who is sentient and the source of all Gods and creation. It formed the multiverse, or the Universe (with a big U) and when everything eventually falls away, the Multiverse shall return to the Old Magic. The old magic is energy - Magic!- and is found everywhere. However, one can believe in God(s) and the Old magic. They are not exclusive.
All things have souls. From the smallest cell to the largest star, all things have an astral double.
Dragons have a big part in the Ethananian faith. They were amongst the first to travel inter dimensionally and amongst the best teachers for those of the Universe. They are teachers, guides, lovers and friends. While not worshiped directly, they are certainly honored along side the Old Magic in ritual.
There are 3 levels to the Ethananian faith - Apprentice, Keylord and the two equally important upper levels Rayvenspeak ( a Rayven being a type of Wyvern) and Timeweaver. All levels are recognized by their signature staff and by the color of their belts. Apprentices wear blue; Keylords, red; Rayvenspeaks, black and Timeweavers, green. Teachers wear white and must be a Rayvenspeak or Timeweaver to teach. One can also be both a Timeweaver and a Rayvenspeak, but must choose one to specialize in. Learning requires few tools, but is mind focused. With that said, the bells and whistles are allowed. :)
Symbols of the faith include the Dragon (usually with wings outstretched or in flight), a Pentacle, or a Dagger/Athame.
