There are many different sects of Turruism, with widely differing practices and beliefs, but all are unified by several beliefs and principles. All are unified by the worship of a primordial creator goddess called ''[[Mari (Turruism)|Mari]],'' along with her mortal kali husband ''[[Ari (Turruism)|Ari]]'', the ''[[Atuskireka (Turruism)|Atuskireka]],'' the pantheon of gods who are believed to be the offspring of Mari and Ari, and the ''[[Remotsa (Turruism)|Remotsa]],'' the thousands of others "personal deities" worshipped by individuals. All gods are worshipped at public temples called ''[[yarizkache]],'' and at private temples (usually found in workplaces, one's home, etc) called ''[[ekeyariak]].'' Turruism places an important conceptual focus on both individual and collective pleasure and satisfaction, or ''raosi'' in Azkali, in addition to service for the community and family, called ''tanga'', and it is believed an equal-as-possible balance of these two concepts solicits the approval of the gods.Turruism has no single creator or specific doctrine, and instead exists in a diverse range of local and regional forms. | There are many different sects of Turruism, with widely differing practices and beliefs, but all are unified by several beliefs and principles.

One of the most important facets of Turruist belief — commonly used by scholars to determine if a specific sect can be considered Turruist in the truest sense — is the idea that all sapient beings are composed of two elements; the mind, ''[[Kelen (Turruism(|kelen]]'', and the body, ''[[Naichiruz (Turruism)|naichiruz]]'', with both being as equally intelligent and aware as the other, and both requiring the other for survival — making the individual, which is collectively referred to as the ''[[Karineu (Azkali)|karineu]]'', one part of a collective mutual relationship, a concept which is called ''[[Haitzakire (Turruism)|haitzakire]] | One of the most important facets of Turruist belief — commonly used by scholars to determine if a specific sect can be considered Turruist in the truest sense — is the idea that all sapient beings are composed of two elements; the mind, ''[[Kelen (Turruism(|kelen]]'', and the body, ''[[Naichiruz (Turruism)|naichiruz]]'', with both being as equally intelligent and aware as the other, and both requiring the other for survival — making the individual, which is collectively referred to as the ''[[Karineu (Azkali)|karineu]]'', one part of a collective mutual relationship, a concept which is called ''[[Haitzakire (Turruism)|haitzakire]]''. It is thus important for various rituals to appease both parts of the ''karineu,'' though mostly the ''naichiruz'', in order to ensure one's longetivity. | ||
