| − | == Introduction ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Imus Flamma'' is a set of practices and beliefs that guides its practitioners through the spiritual and mortal worlds. It aims to the improvement of one's self through the attunement with the divine.
| |

| − | ===Flamma===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Literally translated as "flame", the concept ''flamma'' is used to designate the spiritual essences, the immaterial beings of both the spiritual and mortal worlds.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The ''imus flamma'' is the interior/innermost ''flamma'' of a living being: its soul. It is thought to be made of the same essence as the gods themselves, immortal and transcendent. It is thought that through the cultivation of one's ''imus flamma'' does one get closer to the gods, both in life and in the afterlife. Imus Flamma attempts to teach such attunement.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Not only there is in the living a presence of the ''flamma'' in the mortal world. There are places in where the spiritual world touches the mortal, and there can been sensed the presence of the ''exter flamma''. These can be the souls of those who already departed, usually found in family shrines and temples, or the essences of the lower spirits, found in sacred places, commonly in unusual natural accidents, not rarely home of a shrine or temple themselves.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Imus Flamma deals with two levels of worship of four different orders of beings. It works on a private level, in private ceremonies and shrines built in the practitioners' houses, and on a public level, in public temples and festivals.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The objects of worship are, in a lower scale, the ancestors and the lower spirits of the world. In an intermediary level, the saints are object of veneration. In the top of the spiritual hierarchy, object of the highest devotion, are the Gods.

| − | === The Gods ===
| |
| − | Katrina is not the embodiement of order, nor Korroth is the essence of Chaos. Imus Flamma believes that those two extremes end up meeting in the nothingness of Ukhra. Katrina works as the ideal of the right measure of order and serenity, while Korroth represents a chaotic and glorious life. They are not the only possible paths, and probably not the best for everyone. Other gods incarnate other lifestyles and paths destined for other people. As long as these people manage to successfully attune themselves with their ''inner godly flamme'', and live a life in harmony with them, they should be blessed.
