cults and priesthoods
Cults refer to religious or spiritual groups with distinctive beliefs and practices that often deviate from conventional societal norms. They may have dedicated followers and often revolve around a charismatic leader or central ideology. Priesthoods, on the other hand, pertain to specific groups within religious traditions that are tasked with performing sacred rituals, leading religious services, and providing spiritual guidance to adherents. They often possess specialized knowledge and training and are considered spiritual intermediaries between the divine and the community.
