Because I wanted to create a system that implements my values and general philosophy along with daily practices that are kind of evergreenly good to do/have/know (along with a couple more loosely ceremonial but mostly symbolic and silly stuff). I also just like certain esthetics and world building so...kinda just happened I guess.

Though tbf, calling it a "religion" might be using language too strong. More of a belief system with some interesting but baseless ideas scattered throughout for the flavor. It's also not something I'm interested in sharing except for with those who are both curious and trustworthy. While others are welcome to practice (should those two qualifiers be met ofc), making any kind of consistent congregation or assembly around it would be sacrilege, actually.

Tldr; because it's useful and fun.
