Is the fairy faith Animistic? Well, it depends on what you think a fairy is, and it depends upon how you think Animism works!

Is Animism materialistic/ Is it only about accumulating objects that have a spiritual or totemistic or magical value?

In Europe we are blessed with a high number of holy wells, some of the traditions associated with these sites are Christian, others are Celtic or Roman. but then other holy well sites date back to the Neolithic period.

Utilizing the power of wells for healing is possibly a later Christian tradition based upon the concept of baptism, Vitalism and holy reliquaries. (something we examine, just to rule it out as being non-animistic)

yet, Water itself has Animistic qualities, wells run dry, then water reappears later, illustrating the turning of the season, the ending of drought and the return to fertility.

In this episode we look at Dark Vitalism, Critical Animism, Folk Horror and how Animism has influenced our Entertainment Industry especially Manga and Disney).

Yet also, Animism in modern media is creating new forms of Animism that counter Modernism and Industrialization.

This podcast covers food for spirits, offering that are given, rituals surrounding food, vitalistic empowerment, commensality - ritual dining,

Also contains a small amount of information on Holy water, blessed salt, holy landscapes.

Very few Animists are Atheists!

80% of indigenous tribal Animists live with the concept of a retracted God, where deity is no longer actively running the world (has no omnipotence/ Omnipresence) is dormant or gone.

It ties into Cartian Philosophies about the duality of nature.

If your god is redacted, what happens to the concept of free-will and heavenly ascension? what morality are we working towards?

Both Animism and Naturism utilize immediacy, and so we look vaguely towards predetermination.

In this podcast we look at how Supernatural Animism is used as a literary device, specifically, Dark Animism and horror, Moral vitalism and Disney.

(Shelly, Lovecraft and Poe)

Vitalism promotes supernatural forces which follow human bidding, but this is only because these Animistic forces follow a form of morality that is very similar to human behaviors.

In this podcast we look at how Animism denies Descartes and Rousseau philosophy.

There should be no duality between physicality and consciousness that Cartian philosophy suggest, (for the purposes of environmentalism, animal welfare and general morality).

The growth of Animism has been linked to social action, small people effecting change, the fall of communism and then through these things the protection of indigenous people.

Imperialist agendas are linked to our belief in society and intellect, ideas which Modern Animism is used philosophically to reject.

This is the shortest podcast ever, looking at the similarities between Animism and Naturism,
