A new religion! That's an exciting idea. Let's create a new religion together. Here's a starting point:

  3. The Cycle of Giving: Luminarians practice acts of kindness and generosity, recognizing that every action has a ripple effect on the world.

Symbols:

  2. The Full Moon Celebration: Luminarians gather to celebrate the full moon, honoring the cycle of life and the power of light.
  3. The Seasonal Rites: Luminarians observe seasonal changes with rituals and ceremonies, acknowledging the cycles of nature and the interconnectedness of all.

Leadership:

  1. The Council of Elders: A group of wise and experienced individuals who guide the community and provide spiritual guidance.

This is just a starting point, and we can evolve and refine the details of Luminaria as we see fit. What do you think? Is there anything you'd like to add or change?
