Although the terms Verist and K'ohist refer to adherants that follow only one of the two deities, the term "Verist" is often used by non-adherants to incorrectly refer to any individual following one or both of the religious texts. |

Verk'ohists believe that there are two immanent, all-knowing, and all-natured deities, [[Ver]] and [[K'oh]]. Ver is said to be the deity of all things light, and K'oh being Ver's opposite as the deity of all things dark. In traditional Verk'ohism, neither deity is taught to be superior to the other, and are often portrayed as a double spiral.

Verk'ohists believe that there are two immanent, all-knowing, and all-natured deities, [[Ver]] and [[K'oh]]. Ver is said to be the deity of all things light, and K'oh being Ver's opposite as the deity of all things dark. In traditional Verk'ohism, neither deity is taught to be superior to the other, and are often portrayed as a double spiral, symbolizing the importance of both light and dark in the world. In stark contrast, Verists and K'ohists believe that their respective deities are the "true one", and closely follow the religious text pertaining to the deity they worship. |

Many scholars and theologians place Verk'ohism firmly as a duotheistic religion with two primary deities, however the existence of lesser deities has brought up cause for debate on whether it is duo- or polytheistic. Many scholars postulate that Verk'ohism has many pantheistic attributes with excerpts in the Ts'igna'reli, such as ''Samq’aro; Khazi'', in which the universe is described as "the mortal extension of Ver and K'oh; our blood and flesh is theirs, and their love and life ours." |

K'urieri, also a lesser deity like Mortagra, is a being who greets individuals after they die, and also is responsible for instilling consciousness into all living things. They guide the souls into and out of what is called the ''Didi Araperi'', or the Great Nothingness in Staynish. The ''Didi Araperi'' is described in the Ts'igna'reli as "the place where all things originate, and where all things end." The Ts'ignabi'neli elaborates further, describing the ''Didi Araperi'' as "The deepest and simplest form of being; Ver extracts the souls yet to live, giving them to K'urieri to do Ver's bidding. K'oh infuses those who have lived, collecting them from K'urieri after their life on ''Mok’vdavi Q’velaperi'' is over." |
