A British Anthropologist named Edward B. Tylor had adopted the term "animism" from Georg Ernst Stahl. Anthropologists recognize them as a complex belief system. Anthropology is the study of humans, past and present.

Not only did they believe plants, animals and objects had spirits, they also believed ancestors watched over their families. This resulted as "Ancestor Worship" which would let Animists communicate and respect their ancestors.

- People who are Animistic, have Spiritual and Supernatural perspectives.

Animistics believe these spirits are caused to create good or protect people from harm, danger or trouble. There is a spirit that continues to exist even after someone dies. Spirits that are unattended become revengeful, bitter, angry and hateful. If the proper rituals are formed the spirits would be happy and go to the "spirit world." The rituals often took place outdoors in nature and were practiced by Shaman, Medicine men or Medicine women. A sacred place is in Haiti. In Haiti there is a sacred tree over 200 years ago and the animistic witch doctors made a deal with the devil. These witch doctors were most upset when Christian pastors recently prayed over the tree and successfully commanded the spirits to leave. There are objects such as stones that possess power and could be dangerous.

Fun Facts
