What is Nummism?

Nummism is the culmination of 9.5 millenia of cat worship. Our deity, Numm, lived on Earth as an adorable Canadian shorthair named Dr. L. S. River. He was also known as NummNumm, in imitation of the sound emanating from an HB pencil as he chewed upon it.

Since NummNumm's ascension, Numm's earthly representative is High Priestess Plasma Tigerlily Zoya. She is renowned for her piety, prudence and comforting sermons.

What are Nummists' beliefs and practices?

  • Numm and NummNumm are unitary.
  • Felines achieve salvation simply through faith in Numm. Primates achieve salvation by performing good works for cats.
  • One would be well advised to follow the Ten Strong Suggestions.
  • Paradise has plenty of vacancies, and new construction there is constantly underway.
  • There are no pedigrees in Numm's eyes.
  • The Sign of the Numm may be displayed as a blessing, or as a ward against damnable irritatants.
  • Nummness Day, December 21, is celebrated in anniversary of NummNumm's adoption. Only 143 days till Nummness!

May Nummists use idols?

Scholarship on the matter is obtuse but seemingly innocuous, so we don't see why not.
