We all need floor time sometimes
A coworker's child stopped them a morning before work this week to give them a small rock. Saying, "This is my best friend and he wants to go with you to work." At work she and I got talking and she stopped and said, "I don't know why, I feel like you need a best friend." And gave me the rock her son gave her.
This rock now travels with me in my pocket until it tells me to give him to someone else.
This is animism at its finest. Receiving awakened rocks from children that spoke them into being
I truly believe being able to name the world around you is integral to animism. learn the names of plants and flowers. learn how the rocks and soil you walk over daily form. sit with the streams and rivers, learn where they flow to and from. learn the names others have given, and give them your own as well. animism is interconnectedness, and one simple step is learning the names of your neighbors

love the wording on this. even asexual……. “those horrible satanists arent having sex, which is what we wanted but they’re Doing It Wrong!”
like okay i thought christians were into celibacy why is it bad when we suddenly don’t want sex at all
Don’t be afraid to take up space. You ARE space. The same stuff that makes up the stars that light up the night sky is the stuff inside of you. No matter what they try to tell you, never forget that. Don’t be afraid of taking up space when that’s the very thing that you are.
land spirits do not have to be dramatic.
sometimes reverence for land starts very simply:
learning the names of local plants. noticing where water gathers. thanking a tree before taking from it. picking up trash. leaving a place better than you found it. sitting quietly long enough to feel the mood of the land.
animism is not always spectacle.
sometimes it is relationship, attention, and care.
