Kyevism

Kyevism, also called Kyevi, Keyevi and Kajavi is an ancient polytheistic Qeelsian religion. Adherents of Kyevism, called Kai, revere the atalyn as creator gods, and deny the godhood of the Habatiku, instead interpreting the habatiku as a force used by the atalyn, rather than an individual being.
Atalyn worship is central to Kyevi practice, with most modern Kyevis worshipping Anuwar as a king of the gods, and reserving every day worship to a specific atalyn. Choosing an atalyn to worship usually goes back several generations, with practitioners worshipping the atalyn their family worships. Some practitioners switch from direct worship of one atalyn to another, while some worship several throughout the day. Modern Kyevis use the term shiatali to describe a "personal atalyn" who provides protection and good luck in exchange for worship and offerings. Most Kyevis worship at home altars, called atalwir.
Modern Kyevi practitioners often emulate practices observed by, and banned by, the Avyanic government, such as using mixa amulets, aishan incense and meyo chants. Some practices overlap with Milawic rituals, such as ruduh blessings, using a zheenah and producing adyazin lights.
