Primal religion refers to the pre-historic, pre- literate religion. There are multiple terms to designate this religion such as; primal, tribal, indigenous, traditional religion. The two most popular terms in the present context are 'primal' and 'traditional'. the former refers to the first account of human religion which is primary and key to the developments of all modern religion. The later also implies the same which is based on the oral tradition that has handed down from generation to generation. This traditional tenets and practices are clearly embeded in the myths, legends, folk tales and songs etc. which are considered in the recent time as the prime bible/ scripture. in some parts of the world, the term 'indigenous' is also used mainly because it is followed by the indigenous/ original settlers. Primal religion in reality is the mother of all religion, and its unique feature is the inter- relationship between Nature- human- divine oneness. In the evolution of Religion, a primal religion refers to the basic act of human being that can be categorized as religious. Primal religions like in Aboriginals project a form of ancient monotheism. Myths and symbols are also an important part of a primal religion.
