Welcome to
My Animism

Most people are only vaguely aware of animism, even many people who could be considered animistic in their beliefs and actions. In these pages you'll find my efforts to explain my animism.

You'll find sub-pages in the menu to all the sections of my extended article, "Becoming an Animist."

At the bottom of this page you will find pdf links to Becoming and Animist, plus my version of The Great Story.

To quote http://www.thegreatstory.org/what_is.html):

“The Great Story (also known as the Universe Story, Epic of Evolution, or Big History)...is humanity's sacred narrative of an evolving Universe of emergent complexity and breathtaking creativity--a story that offers each of us the opportunity to find meaning and purpose in our lives and our time in history.”
