Dreamweaver (fictional religion)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dreamweavers are followers of a Pagan religion that is similar to Wicca. They are from the series or books Age of the Five by Trudi Canavan. The Dreamweavers pledge to do no harm, and the religion was created by Mirar, as a way of using other magical abilities, peacefully, without relying on the power left over by the Gods. Mirar founded the Dreamweavers as he was deeply mistrustfull of the Gods' plans. Seemingly to further his distrust of the Circlian Gods, they have outlawed the solicitation of Dreamweaver skills: None may use the talents of a Dreamweaver, and the punishment for breaking this law is imprisonment. This decree is only lifted durin times of heavy warfare, when even the Gods recognize the importance of having gifted Healers on their side.
Dreamweavers have abilities in healing far above those of either the Circlians or the Pentadrians, and use them to help both sides during the war. They also have the ability to manipulate dreams, share memories, and use 'natural' magic, and are skilled at using herbs and plants for healing.
Notable Dreamweavers are Auraya (not officially), Leiard, and Mirar (founder).
