Shulanite Spirituality

Shulanite spirituality has a lot of focus on duality, with there being many warring gods and spirits in their cosmology. The belief in deities and spirits is common, even in modern times although the practices have become a bit more relaxed.
This has also led to a lot of strict and sometimes restrictive societal roles that people are supposed to follow. This involves things like gender roles, marriage, and even expectations of castration some for the male priesthood. This is often looser in modern times but still runs strong in more traditionalist sects.
Shulanite spirituality is sometimes syncretized with the Daanist religion, but there are also a lot of traditionalist movements to try and stop this and stick to traditional practices. When it is syncretized with Daana, the different gods are seen as different aspects or servants of Daana.
