During normal days, outside holidays of celtism and the worldwide calendar holidays – which are also celebrated by Celts – Duanda and their army practise their religion by:

1)caring for all six types of geographical formations

This is practised by visiting the six kinds of formations which are nearest to the home of a Celt, and a home always must be within the walking distance from all six types (swamps, meadows, mountains, forests, seas, lakes). This is actually the second law of homebuilding, in addition to obligatory growth of hazel and mistletoe in the home area.

During visits, Celts perform cleaning, repairments, and protective magical spells. Two most important magical spells for natural care are: spell of Mistletoe, which enforces relations between all elements of a given geographical formation, and spell of Hazel, which enforces strength of all its elements. Spell of Mistletoe is performed by drawing a sign of mistletoe on the ground in the middle of the formation or in its four corners (or in a middle of its closest brink, if the formation is very large), and same for spell of Hazel. A mistletoe sign is a line with a dot under it, same as exclamation mark, and a hazel sign is a hook with a dot under it, same as question mark. These signs stem from knowledge that love (symbolised by mistletoe) is something to be loud about, and that lore (symbolised by hazel) is an art of provocation.

2)caring for animals

This is practised by simple social actions of feeding and medical care, among others, plus by special magical rites. The magical rites encompass singing special songs which magically enable talking to animals or cause magical protection of animals, as well as drawing signs of mistletoe and hazel on the area inhabited by animals, but with stars and moons instead of dots. The signs with stars establish bonds with animals and the signs with moons physically defend animals.

3)caring for weather

This is practised by singing magical chants upon arrival of new weather and by celebrations of new weathers through dancing at common gatherings. Celts traditionally organize sudden get-togethers whenever a rain or storm starts, whenever a rainbow appears, whenever a mist begins. Even if the weather phenomenon is short in length, it is always an initiative to commence a gathering, and if that's not possible, then instead Celts utter prayers and sing songs. Prayers are individual speeches directed towards the given weather phenomenon, and are based on general worship of weather in celtism.

4)caring for nature elements

This is practised by creating artworks, which is a way of repairing the world in celtism. If a Celt wants to increase the powers of natural elements, like stars and moons, or animals, or weathers, and so one, he creates artworks representing them. Such artworks are then installed in special magical frames, and the frames consist of scultped signs which carry magical spells onto the phenomenons represented in the artworks. Aside mistletoe and hazel signs in its two forms (classical and starred/mooned), there are also a sign of kuna, which is XXII, and a sign of road cross, which is two crossed lines with a circle. Kuna sign brings health and riches, and road cross sign brings immortality and freedom. If an artwork can not be framed, then it must include the chosen magical signs in itself.
