What is Animism?
All human cultures around the Earth were, at one time, what we now call “Animist”. It has always been understood that humans are a part of “Nature” and that the living world around and within, is a sacred web of which we are a part. Even those who have had their direct Animist lineage severed are still connected in this way. It is this process of reconnection that call us together here.

Animism, comes from the Latin root “anima”, “breath, spirit, life”. Web of Life church uses this word to describe the reality that there is a Spirit (life force) in all “things” and that we are all equal strands in the sacred web of life. Although many human people currently feel that non-human beings (animals, plants, and “inanimate” objects or phenomena) are “things” without a consciousness of their own.

Animists understand that humans are made up of the same elements as all else in Nature, so we are naturally in communication with all, whether we know it or not.

Animism is used in the anthropology of religion as a term for the belief system or cosmology of humans around the planet Earth, especially prior to the development and/or infiltration of colonialism and monotheistic religions. Although each culture has its own different mythologies and rituals, “animism” reflects the most common, foundational thread of human peoples’ “spiritual” or “supernatural” perspectives. The animist perspective is so fundamental that most animistic indigenous people (and all pre-monothestic ancestors ) do not have a word in their languages that corresponds to “animism” (or even “religion”). 

The term “animist” used to describe a person or culture is an anthropological construct rather than one designated by the people themselves, however, we need a word to describe us now in these times. Web of Life and others use this word because it is the best option we have available. Hopefully someday there will be other words to help us remember more fully.

Animism is our word for this remembering
Our Ancestors whisper to us so we may remember
Sooner than later, they call us home.


Today, Indigenous Peoples around the planet are gathering power to protect and defend land and lives. Many colonized people who are descendants of forgotten Animist ways are being called in dreams and intuition to heal and remember. Together, all Earth honoring Humans are asked to protect and defend the Earth and her sacred inhabitants.

While Human stories are unique, everyone’s common ancestor is EARTH. (Star Ancestry is acknowledged in this worldview, however this content is for those who feel connected to Earth as Kin.)


The magical nature of our world has never stopped.
As colonized humans, we have been taught to stop listening.
Through the intuitive arts we can remember how to listen again.
When we listen to the guidance around and within us, healing occurs.
As we heal ourselves, we heal our cultures.
As we heal our cultures, we can hear the guidance we need.

.
Animist cultures, with much diversity, often include:
~An understanding that there are unseen and/or non-physical ancestors and spirits that can speak to, help or hurt a person or group, and that humans can communicate with, and hopefully gain the favor of, these spirits.
~Messages that can and do come through dreams, intuition and perceptions from all the senses.
~Knowing that “reality” is multifaceted and that memories from, and experiences with, various places in reality (past and future lives, ancestral memories, other dimensions) are real and affect those of us in this world.
~Teachings about how to interact, honor, and be protected from Spirits that one encounters.
~Humans are but one “People” on this Earth. All Peoples are equal in the Web of Life.
