Animism typically does not center around major gods in the same way as organized religions; instead, it involves a belief that spiritual essence resides in all things, including animals, plants, rocks, and natural phenomena. Different cultures may have various spirits or deities associated with specific elements of nature, ancestors, or the land. These spirits are often revered and engaged with through rituals and offerings, reflecting the interconnectedness of all life. Thus, the focus is more on a multitude of spirits rather than a hierarchy of major gods.

What gods do animists believe in?

A:Strictly speaking, animism does not have gods. Animism, the earliest known religion, holds that spirits inhabit everyday objects in the natural environment. In time, some began to attribute human-like characteristics to these spirits, as they evolved to become the gods we are now more familiar with, but this evolution also meant a move away from the original animism. A god who may now be all-powerful and transcendent is simply the final stage in a long evolution, over thousands of years, from an animist spirit.

How many beliefs does animism have and what are they?

Animism has thousands of different beliefs, because every type of Animism is different from every other kind! The basic belief of Animism is that there is a life-force inside every aspect of the natural world. Not only animals and plants, but even rocks, rivers and the stars, all contain this life-force, so everything is ultimately part of the same essence. This life-force is the Animist version of God. They don't believe in "gods" in the same way that, say, Hindus believe in multiple gods. However, the life-force in a particular tree or well might be prayed to or appeased as if it were a god.
