Granfalloon A granfalloon, in the fictional religion of Bokononism (created by Kurt Vonnegut in his 1963 novel "Cat's Cradle"), is defined as a "false karass". That is, it is a group of people who affect a shared identity or purpose, but whose mutual association is meaningless.
Assianism Assianism (Russian: Ассианство , "Assianstvo"; meaning the "religion of the ese", in Russian асов, "asov") is a Scythian movement of Native Faith practised in Russia, based on the traditional folk religious beliefs of the Ossetians, modern descendants of the Scythians. The religion is known as "Assianism" among its Russian adherents, and as "Uatsdin" (Уацдин, literally "True Faith") by Ossetians in their own language. It started to be revived in a conscious and organised way in the 1980s, as an ethnic religion among the Ossetians, who have since largely embraced it. Scythian religious groups are also present in Ukraine.
