Glad and Naneth
Among the most complicated of gods and goddesses is Glad, the forest god of harvest, wine, and greenery, who is also the goddess Naneth during the spring planting. The mystery of how one god carries so many forms, names, and genders is best left to the druids and field priests, who prepare the sacrifices to Glad and Naneth. The rites of Glad and Naneth involve food, wine, or green wood burnt to smoke, and extend for a full day. Summer and winter solstices are especially sacred times, with symbolic human sacrifices buried in the fields at midsummer and figures made of straw set ablaze to bring back the sun at midwinter.
