Animisim

Post by DLedoux »

I am a beginner animist and I was wondering if your suppose to ask the spirit of certain natural object, like a plant or stone if you can take them home with you or to use them in a spell and ritual before doing so. If so how what are simple ways to ask that spirit?

I think an important aspect is intention. Respect for the natural objects you are intending to use in rituals. We have been given the ability as conscious beings to live in symbiosis with the environment and use it for our own needs and survival. This is how nature works. I tend to believe in animism to some extent, the idea that stars, planets, trees, plants ect. have their own spiritual essence does makes sense. But even though a plant may have sensitivity that does not make it intelligent per se, at least not in the same level as ours.
