Animism is the belief that everything that is living has a soul or a spirit. Animism originated back in the Stone Age, making it one of the oldest beliefs known to man. It comes from the Latin word "anima" meaning breath or soul. This belief or religion has no specific or known founders. In animism you cannot hurt anything with a soul because it is sacred.
Animism has three branches to it:
Ritualism and Ceremonialism-the use of ceremonies or rituals to further existence
Shamanism-communication or entrance with the spirit world through a Shaman, or witch doctor to obtain solutions to problems
Fetishism-doctrine of spirits embodied, attached or conveying influence through, certain animals or material objects
Animists believe that everone has equal rights and should be treated fairly. They also believe that everything on this Earth has a soul or spirit. These spirits are very sacred to the Natives because it is a huge part of their life and culture.Animists also believe that you should respect everything that God has given you.
