Message: <blockquote data-quote="Janx" data-source="post: 4478675" data-attributes="member: 8835">a bunch of good ideas listed already.I'd recommend looking up wiccan, jewish, muslim, catholic holidays (each has a lot of holidays) for exampls of reasons to have a holidy (and thus a ceremony).You could also expect, for a big church, to have a public ceremony, and private, where the real power stuff happens. (could be the private ceremony draws power for a big mass blessing for the big audience at the public ceremony).you can find a lot on pagan sites on writing your own rituals (might use one as a guide).  However, it might be a bit boring to narrate the entire ritual.  Might be easier to hand wave the sections.  It might be easy to do that if the words are in a ancient language (like latin), because you can say "the high priest begins chanting in an ancient tongue), without having to say everything.  If a PC knows the language, you can summarize.Much like enworld's policy on "no religion" topics, I'd try to keep some parts vague.  Don't try to truly invent a religion, just have enough flavor so it seems like the characters are participating in a religion.  Too much detail might come across as actually performing a ritual, which might be tabboo for some players.</blockquote>
