Otherfaith Practices
Other People are allowed to participate in any other religious groups they wish to. They are not required to limit themselves to only the Otherfaith. The only member of the Otherfaith that must focus on the Otherfaith before other religions (not to the exclusion of) is the spokesperson, currently Aine Llewellyn.
The Other People are not restricted to worshiping the Four+ Gods alone.
An Other Person may choose which gods they wish to interact with in their own private practices. Knowing the gods' relationships with each other is often important to understanding individual deities better, but a practitioner does not need to engage with each god.
Participation in the community may be done through activity in the Discord server, blogging about the Otherfaith, or writing stories about the gods and spirits. Participation is not required to be an Other Person but is often helpful in developing one's practice.
The Four+ Gods may also be incorporated into an existing religious practice that you are already part of.
A good offering when beginning your practice is to lay out bread, honey, and cream or milk. Set this out, untouched, for a half hour to an hour, and then discard the food into the proper disposal.
Private worship is a form of participation in the Otherfaith, and an Other Person should not feel obligated to share their religious lives with the community. Individual impressions of the gods and responses to religious practices help develop the Other People's understanding of the holy ones, though, and the open sharing of a Person's experiences is what advances the Otherfaith.
Writing stories/fanfiction, as well as analyses or breakdowns of existing stories, is another way to get involved in the Otherfaith. Our stories are published on Archive of Our Own under the 'Otherfaith Religion & Lore' tag. Analyses of stories can be posted on a blog - either your own or through an Otherfaith Wikia account - or submitted to the blog hosted here.
Community projects vary by month and availability. There are none currently running.
Members who leave the religion may be removed from specific private group areas, such as spaces limited to initiates of certain deities or similar areas.
Association with hate groups may result in removal from Otherfaith communities, but this is a rare exception and has not been encountered in our history.
