Do you believe in God?
mītuyyi /ˈmiːtujji/ (n.) spirit, sprite, demon, daemon, angel, familiar, genius, jinn, nymph, fey, fairy
- From Proto-AY *mùytu- "spirit"
- A type of minor entity in the traditional Abil-Yaunite religion
- Not usually seen as inherently good or evil, but often depicted as mischievous and behaving in ways that can seem quite alien to human beings
- Countless such entities are thought to exist throughout the world, but none are thought to be very powerful on their own
- Typically associated with particular places or specific objects, individual spirits rarely attract widespread cults, if they are worshipped at all
- Groups of spirits working together are thought to be more capable of influencing our world, however

muyoralán [ˈmuːʃɔ̈ɾɐˌlaːn] - vegetarian
vegetarian [ˈveːxəˌtaːɾɪ̯ɐn] - vegetarian
ETYMOLOGY I: from rapar "forest" + muyor "eater", literally "forest eater".
ETYMOLOGY II: from muyor "eater" + alán "natural, sustainable"
ETYMOLOGY III: from vegetarian.
USAGE NOTES: The Yélians, as a desert-based people, thought that only people who live in the forest could have the luxury of a plant-based diet. The word rapamuyor is rejected by vegetarians for its pejorative sound: They prefer either the neologism muyoralán (literally "eater of sustainable food") or the loan word vegetarian. Of the three words, the second one is used most commonly.

sũjalə, shaman n
maŋkilə, healer n
mańə, healthy adj
Both sũjalə and maŋkilə were religious specialists in the Proto Inaki society with somewhat complementary tasks. Sũjalə acted as the intermediary to the spirit world, while as a healer maŋkilə was responsible with the rituals surrounding matters of life and death. Sũjalə is derived from the verb sũja, "see" with the agent noun suffix -lə and maŋkilə from the adjective mańə, "healthy", with the causative and agent noun suffixes -ki and -lə.

Boral
viol cemtir /vjɔl ʦɛmˈtɪʀ/ [vɪˈjɔw ʦɪnˈtɪː] graveyard fiddles
< The first word from Mediæval Tuscan viola, probably from Old Aquitain viula, from Late Latin vitula (all with the same meaning). The second from Old Boral cemiteȝr, from Latin cœmētērium "burial ground", from Greek κοιμητήριον "sleeping chamber".
Refers to the mysterious sound of string instruments in the air, which in Borlish folklore is attributed to various spirits connected to death, and to cemeteries in particular. Usually said to be low, mournful melodies. Apparently a tradition peculiar to Borland, as no closely analogous figures are seen in stories abroad.
Featured in the opera Ali in Fiamme "Wings Afire" (a retelling of the story of Icarus which famously takes place entirely after the events of the myth), composed by Venetian Chiarina Bruno and first performed in 1824. Her first work, she is said to have heard the tale of the viol cemtir from her brother Giacomo, who had fought alongside Borlish soldiers in the Second German War.

Although this week's theme was primarily chosen because of Christmas and Hanukkah, folklore/mythology/religion is one of my favorite subjects to read about when it comes to conworlds or concultures, so I'm happy to see that this week's theme has inspired so many interesting entries!
In addition to spanick's, here are a few more entries related to this week's theme that caught my eye:
ḫāsayyi /ˈxaːsajji/ (n.) god, goddess, godhead, deity, divinity
- From Proto-AY *ḫámśʸa- "god"
- Usually refers to an entity rather than a quality, but can also be used as an adjective meaning "godly, divine"
- In the traditional Abil-Yaunite religion, there are approximately two dozen major gods, although the exact number can differ from place to place
- The culturally dominant city of Iskuyyand recognizes a pantheon of twenty-five
- Apart from one "odd god out", these deities can be divided first into two groups of twelve, then into four groups of six, and finally into twelve groups of two based on similarities between their spheres of influence
- Gods are widely worshipped, each having their own temples and feast days, but few people worship all gods equally
- Most people pay more attention, so to speak, to the gods they feel are most relevant to their lives
- The gods are generally thought to live below the earth, among the souls of the dead, but are believed to frequently influence the world of the living, especially at particular times of year

My brother thinks that dolphins have souls and should be able to vote.
I hope everything's alright!
Oh good, I'm so glad to hear that! I love what you've come up with here!
Although this week's theme was primarily chosen because of Christmas and Hanukkah, folklore/mythology/religion is one of my favorite subjects to read about when it comes to conworlds or concultures, so I'm happy to see that this week's theme has inspired so many interesting entries!
In addition to spanick's, here are a few more entries related to this week's theme that caught my eye:

Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.

Ivook, Lexember 24th:
UNRK [unarak] Unarak - Unarak, the greatest of the forest spirits. It appears in the shape of a big boar with silver tusks and red bristle. It has moss and herbs growing on its back and lichen around it face. It is the guardian of the forest and plants new trees and herbs. It also gives color to the flowers by drooling on them.
IMUSN [aimuʃin] Aimusin - Aimusin, the greatest of the water spirits. Appearing as a bronze coloured whale with two pairs of pectoral fins and long whiskers, it roams the sea and causes storms that bring rain and snow to the land. The world is thought to be scattered inside one of its bubbles, protecting all beings in it from the cold outside.
KMOS' [kimoʃ] kimosj - Small, mischievous creatures who play pranks on people and cause accidents among them.
LH' [ɬaf] lahv - Lizard-like spirits who sleep deep in the ground. They lure people who've lost their way in the forests down in the underworld and eat them.
KELM [keɬim] kelim - Lost spirits or ghosts trying to find their way home. They commonly appear at moonlit nights as people-less shadows. Some pass through villages peacefully, while others cause misery to people along their way. They're thought to be the last breaths of people dying with broken hearts.
SMER [ʃimed] Simed - The most commonly known kelim, Simed, is thought to be the unresting spirit of a young girl waiting in vain for her loved one to come back from a sailing voyage. She carries a lantern with her that casts her shadow on the rocky beaches. She is a bad omen for seafarers when she's seen by the coast looking out to the sea.
