Gossamer

“There isn’t enough darkness in the entire world to snuff out the light of one little candle.”


 * Proverb of Gossamer

To seek the truth in all matters.

To shine a light on the dark.

To brave the unknown.

To challenge established ideas.

To strive for new ones.

Gossamer pushes her followers to explore both the familiar and unknown. She lies in a week of investigating a mystery, a night of self-reflection or a moment of hope for the future. A follower of Gossamer must never grow too comfortable with what is routine and known and should always question it and try new things.

The light of Gossamer banishes dark forces and secrets while bringing understanding and guidance to those who wander in the dark. Her shadow exists as a reminder of the opposite forces of the world. There is no good without evil, joy without sorrow, music without silence and light without shadow.

Gossamer is worshipped by both the down-trodden and the lost but also by explorers, philosophers and revolutionaries. Although she has organized worship, temples to her are more commonly found as wayfarer shrines that provide a safe place for rest. Such shrines will usually boast large candles that visitors are encouraged to relight before they depart.

Candles and lanterns play a large role in rites and services to her, with a single one being lit and its flame shared among its congregation.
