SCRIPTURES
In Nomromism, there is no one central piece of holy scripture but rather a wide variety of books and literature from which believers may feel free to pick and choose. Nomromists are encouraged to read from a large selection of both religious and non-religious texts, many of which may be found listed below. These texts and writings are meant to be a great source of advice, wisdom, knowledge, and inspiration for the readers and grant many different perspectives on a near infinite number of subjects.
