originates from. Thus, the presumption made about it originating from an individual
standpoint, as opposed to a collective one cannot be confirmed at this time.
Sixthly, and finally, I accept that, and re-iterate that more research must be done in order to
fill in the gaps. This, I hope with all my heart, is what will happen. It is what must happen, if
the world is to increase its understanding of this theological practice.

§54 –APPENDIX A: A STUDY ABSTRACT.
The Aim of this primary Study into Daedra Worship is to increase awareness of the
presence of Daedra Worship, and to study its origins, and practices, using the analysis of the
self-report measure of questionnaires.
The sample contained two females and one participant of the ‘other’ category (in this cause
gender-fluid) gathered by opportunity sampling via a Daedra Worship Internet Forum.
Sometime had been used to better understand about the concept of Daedra Worship
beforehand, and then the questionnaire was given to them to be filled out via the forum’s
private messaging feature. All participants were briefed beforehand in a thread made about
the subject of the Treatise, and de-briefed after they have completed the questionnaire,
two having completed it on the 1 st of December 2016, and the third participant having
completed it thirty days later on the 30 th of December.
The results are as thus; All participants (100%) worshipped more than one Daedric deity,
while two (66%) worshipped them independently any non-Daedric deities, one (33%)
worshipping them in conjunction with non-Daedric deities.
The average worship timeline was 1 year. A common Prince worshipped between all
participants was Sheogorath. Although only one (33%) of the sample had a religious
upbringing, two (66%) studied religious affairs on their own. None of the participants
worshipped all 17 Princes, but believed in their existence. The mean Daedric Princes
worshipped was 3.3. Of those that worshipped Daedric deities in conjunction with non-
Daedric ones, none worshipped other “Pop Culture Deities”.
It must be concluded that – although more research must certainly be done – Daedra
Worship is present due to the concept of religious self-discovery. This seems to suggest that
the search for religious self-discovery on an individual level explanation that is more
