10 Roots/Foundations of Animism

As Experienced by friends of Web of Life Animist Church

1. We live in the physical web of life that consists of the energy exchanges between organisms that can be measured. We are also a part of the symbolic web of life which consists of all beings sharing energetic information, which connects all, without the need for an intermediary.
2. We are infinitely connected to non-physical realities and beings who dwell in them, and we have the natural ability to connect during waking and dreaming states for guidance in every aspect of human existence.
3. All forms of beings exist in the web of life, including those we don’t understand.  
4. Humans are one family of sentient beings. Each human, in all genders, colors, sexual orientations, traditions, is important and has autonomy over their own body.
5. In each human’s life there are important life passages that act as sacred timekeepers to be honored with ceremony in community.
6. All beings in Earth’s web of life rely on Plants, Soil, Air and Water for all aspects of wellbeing, including shelter, nourishment, medicine and joy.
7. All places in Nature are sacred and all of Nature is our “house of worship”.
8. To become who we can be, social, gender, reproductive and environmental justice must be a right for each human, and dismantling the myths of white, male and human supremacy are necessary parts of restoring wholeness in human communities.
9. We gather with others in the physical world and online to enhance wellness, express gratitude and work collectively.
10. As a member of this Earth community of interwoven lives, we commit to contributing to the wellness of the whole, because We all Belong.
