What are some of the secret religious rites in your world?

One real-life example is the Eleusinian Mysteries.

The mythology of my world is an interpretation of Glorantha. Pretty much near eastern bronze age. So there are Gods abound, with their respective cults. Most/all cults have rites and mysteries for those deeply devoted. None have came up in play so they are secrets even for me.

A set of secrets/mysteries that I've started working on are the Nysalorian secrets. According to Gloranthan lore when Nysalor was born/created Time stopped to allow the birth. So yeah Nysalor is a big deal. The Nysalorian secrets I'm divining are about the nature of Godhood. I don't know how deep I want to go with them, I could make them the very blueprints of Creation. Perhaps I should tie them to my meta-loredump mystic society/cult Followers of the Blind Idiot God.

Rules:

Follow Lemmy's Code of Conduct.

Remain on-topic. Worldbuilding contains many areas of interest, so, when in doubt, explain how your contribution fits within worldbuilding.

Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.

Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.

Advertising should not disrupt the community. Self-promotion of projects related to worldbuilding are fine. However, you must be willing to engage with your audience.

Love each other. There's a human on the other side of your screen, so treat them with respect.
