Community Profile

This is a community intended for any and all discussions relating to animism. Animism is - essentially - the belief that all living beings (and often non-living beings) have souls, or are ensouled. The belief is most common in contemporary animism (sometimes called shamanic) and Indigenous practices, but it can also be found amongst agnostics, pagans, and many other beliefs too.

This community will likely be spirituality focused, with an emphasis on animism and paganism. However all are welcome.

Please attempt to be aware of cultural appropriation issues, and if you're not familiar with the term and wish to write about animism, consider looking up the term 'plastic shamanism' first. While the term shamanism isn't banned from the group, if you can ever use a more culturally appropriate term in describing your practices - such as calling yourself an animist instead of a shamanism, or saying that you work with animal teachers instead of totems, that will be appreciated.

You are especially welcome if you respect the land no matter where you come from.

The main rule is:

Respect each other.

Walk respectfully.
Walk wisely.
