Makaism (also Makaianism) is a polytheistic religion of monistic philosophy endemic to Kalam. It mainly centers around the veneration of natural powers and the universe itself.
Wuray Maka
The Wuray Maka is the name given to the creation myth of Makaism. According to this myth, the world began as a formless expanse devoid of structure or meaning. From the universe emerged a singular entity by the name of Maka. Makaism teaches that Maka is the consciousness born of the fundamental forces of the universe.
Recognizing the boundless chaos of the universe, Maka resolved to bring order and structure to it. Maka would create a human-like body for itself and use its hands to grasp at the void, creating space. Maka would use its finger to trace a line across the world, creating time.
When Maka was satisfied, it reached into its head and killed its physical form to evenly spread across the universe once more.
Makamaka
From Maka's corpse would emerge two beings, Maka-sarmi (Maka the woman) and Maka-qaru (Maka the man). The dual deities are often known only as Makamaka.
