WE- The Beginner’s Field Guide to Full Circle Animism
While each Animist speaks for themselves, we share Statements of Belief and Knowing, as expressed by members of the Web of Life Animist Church.
- We exist within an intricate and diverse web of life, and within our web of biodiversity, all beings share energetic information, connecting everything without intermediaries. Every form of life, even those beyond our understanding, is part of this connection.
- Humans are one family of beings on our planet, and all humans are sacred members in the web of life, thereby possessing equitable autonomy over their own body, mind and soul.
- Since we are all connected, we pray and act to support the protection of the web of life/”Nature” because all beings on Earth depend on plants, soil, air, and water for Life (shelter, nourishment, medicine, and joy).
- Throughout our lives, we experience significant passages that serve as sacred milestones, deserving of communal ceremonies.
- Through our sacred senses, we can perceive non-physical realms and the beings within them. We have the natural ability to connect with, and seek guidance from, these realms during both waking and dreaming states.
- To realize our collective potential as humans, we must remember that we are all connected on this one planet. Every natural place is a sacred “holy land,” and Earth itself is our “house of worship.”
- Our spiritual life compels us to gather in the physical world, the spirit realms and online through Earth-honoring ceremonies, spiritual connection, community circles and mutual care.
- As members of this Earth community of interwoven lives, we commit to contributing to the wellness of the whole because we all belong.
