Hearts Across Space

Excerpted from The Unexpurgated History of Gemini by Master's J'ff and G'un

Gemini does not have organized religion as such as the Gemini believe that spirituality and religion is a personal matter and has no place in government or military policies.

Some Geminiian’s do follow some of the outworld religions but those who do are few and far between. Those members who follow outworld religions usually do because of their affiliation with outworld governments, families, and friends.

The closest thing to an organized religion on Gemini is the belief in "The Keeper of The Planet" and actions and beliefs of those followers. Most Geminiian's who profess belief in "The Keeper" do so in the privacy of their own homes or estates. Unlike most organized religions, there is no litany or dogma for the followers of "The Keeper" The only thing organized and accepted by all is the symbols of belief a spinning illuminated globe of Gemini approximately "10 to 12 inches" in diameter.

While in most cases the globes are only displayed in front of or in private residences in an alcove or niche set aside for the purpose, many places of large public gatherings will have an alcove or grotto somewhere on the premises. Some larger places may have several of these places. These alcoves or niches are never called shrines as that would place a religious connotation to these locations, which would be abhorrent to all Geminiian’s.

In most cases Geminiians’ go to the alcoves to commune with nature, to seek a calm, quiet place to think and or resolve problems within themselves. Some times the alcoves are used by couples or other groups to discuss sensitive or serious matters in a place of calmness.   Many Geminiian’s claim they find a sense of peace at the alcoves which has helped them resolve what ever issues they needed resolving.

As many Geminiians’ are somewhat empathic and many have several psychic gifts, they find they can get in touch and in tune with the planetary forces in the alcoves or niches.

As there are many Archons and  Arcons as well as  their Bondling’s serving in Government and The Military as well as many trained empathic personnel as well as other trained personnel with different psychic gifts, you will find alcoves and niches with the globes in Government and Military installations.

These alcoves or niches are never marked or on locater maps, individuals who wish to use them must find them by themselves or by word of mouth.

The only thing consistently said about the alcoves and niches is that the outside world seems not to exist unless the user wishes it to.

Unlike most religions, there have been many documented cases of the appearance of "The Keeper" or her Avatars.   These appearances have been thoroughly investigated by The Archonate as well as The Military and have been certified authentic.

The only non-certified aspect is the rumored "Tears of The Keeper" if they exist they are well hidden.

The only celebrations that can remotely be considered of a religious nature are The Winter and Summer Solsticeums.   These two days celebrating the shortest and longest days of the year are celebrated throughout Geminiian Space.   While these are planetary holidays the public celebrations are more for friends and families to see old friends and offer thanks for what the planet has given them. The only thing resembling a religious ceremony occurs during private celebrations where a libation may be poured onto the earth with a bowed head.

The alcove and niches see only a slight increase in use during the Solsticeum's, this is due to the fact these days are spent with families and friends not alone.
