----- Vita is the God of life. The keeper of the flame on the world of Whipvine. Vita maintains the living and gives essence to birth. She is the insistence that life continue and the body heal and the next generation arrive. Vita is the essence of sustenance and healing that makes the harsh world with all of its apocalyptic scars inexplicably survive and life paranaturally hardy. Spiritist Clinicians worship Vita on a regular basis every day and pay reverence to Mortem every night. Healthcare is framed as cooperation with Vita. Clinicians and Clinicists speak of their work as though they are tending to a fire. Patients who recover from illness, injury, or near death thank Vita by lighting a much more ornate sky lantern during Life's Advent. Life is celebrated as a whole more than individual birthdays. The annual Life's Advent is the holiday of Vita and the winter festival where Vita is held in high regard. Spiritists light sky lanterns to fly into the sky, where those who survived serious sickness pay additional thanks by lighting ornate lanterns as opposed to the routine solid colored paper-and-wood lanterns.
