Urweh
Major Aspect of Life
Urweh guides mortals through the uncertainty of life.
Urweh appears as an ethereal figure, radiating a soft, golden light. Her most prominent feature is her hands, which are constantly in motion, weaving intricate threads of shimmering gold and silver. These threads represent the interconnectedness of all destinies. Her eyes, when visible, are like swirling nebulae, reflecting the vastness of time and possibility. She often appears draped in flowing robes woven from sunlight, which shift and change with the patterns of fate.
She is ageless, existing outside the linear flow of time, and her presence is often felt as a gentle hum or a subtle shift in the air.
She is the embodiment of destiny, not as a rigid, predetermined path, but as a fluid tapestry of choices and consequences, and represents potential and life. She is the weaver of opportunities. She is not necessarily benevolent or malevolent, but rather a force of free, ensuring that the threads of fate keep flowing.
Rites

These threads would be woven into a communal tapestry, symbolizing the interconnectedness of destinies.
Celebrations
The Festival of Crossroads: It was celebrated at pivotal moments in the year, harvest and midwinter. The festival would involve the telling of stories and the enactment of symbolic choices, reminding people of the power they have to shape their own paths.
Effigy: Urweh's effigies would typically depict her with outstretched hands, weaving threads of light. These sculptures or paintings might be crafted from materials that reflect light, such as polished glass or crystal. Another common effigy would be a large, circular loom, with threads of yellow and gray woven into intricate patterns.
