Apprenticeship
<>
Despite relatively low levels of religiosity in present-day Amalthea, the core concept of apprenticeship is still frequently practiced. Even irreligious people and institutions often adopt aesthetic/symbolic <things>, such as small trinkets, shrines, or artwork representing aspects of the deity associated with a profession. An example is the mural of bountiful harvest (a symbol of šekvani) visible on the main façade of the Amalthea Meteorological Collaboration headquarters building in Saelunavvk, Solea.
