clan religion

the four clans currently believe in a mixture of new and old religions. six years ago (72 moons), a warrior by the name of firescar traveled far from his clans in the forest of england to the emerald isle where the irish clans lived. having jumped on a twoleg ship, he crossed the ocean to the clans. originally, the four disliked him greatly, not understanding who he was or where he came from. firescar taught them british english and told them he was a cat of thunderclan, one of the four clans on the other island next to ireland. he taught them the ways of starclan, as he thought their original ways of belief were wrong and unnecessary. the clans were converted that leaf-fall and have been starclan believers ever since.

however, their original religion was celtic animism, a religion that believed in forest spirits of all sorts. the four clans believed that spirits ruled the earth and helped them on their journey through life. while that religion was officially dismissed nearly two years ago (24 moons), some cats still follow and practice it. the four clans have embraced starclan as their main belief system but also incorporate parts of their celtic roots, including language and praying before and after a kill. what your cat honors and believes is up to you, however.

^{* note: the clans were created six years before this current season. before the reformation, as they call it, the four clans were tribes living as nomads. firescar gave them names, territories, taught them the warrior code, and converted them to starclan.}
