Animism | September 16, 2005
An ancient belief, especially held among Native American tribes, that a soul or spirit resides in all things, including inanimate objects and natural forces. In a future state this soul or spirit would exist as part of an immaterial soul. The spirit, therefore, was thought to be universal. Animism can also stand for the basic belief in a spiritual existence, or a greater reality than simply what is seen.
