Midi #1: Something to Believe In

Hello solvers!  For this puzzle, I put an effort into making something extra accessible to new cryptic solvers.  I've tried (and almost succeeded!) to use only one device per clue, like Steve Mossberg does in his excellent Quiptic series on Square Pursuit.  (And if you're a newer solver, those are a great place to learn!)

As usual for my puzzles, there are hints for individual clues available in the puzzle, by clicking "Reveal" on a computer, or tapping the light-bulb icon on mobile.  The hints will tell you what part of the clue is the definition, and what type of device is going on with the wordplay.  

Thanks to Brigit, Skaldskaparmal, Saroota, and jeenbeans for test solving!

Have fun!
