Answering Your Questions About Modern Animism
Thanks for your questions about animism! We've got a backlog! Today Laura Giles tackles these issues:
What do the mystical aspects of animism look like?
What do I do in liminal space?
How do I cope with spiritual awakening?

Be sure to check out our other FAQ in the archives as we've answered a lot of other questions there.
Correction: When I'm talking about dreams, I think I said "hypnogogic" when I meant "hypnopompic" or vice versa. I think you can work out what I meant from the context though.

Social Justice, Cancel Culture and Animism
Animism is a holistic spiritual path so our politics, relationships, shopping, work life, and spiritual path all intersect. Words like social justice, cancel culture, colonizers, and calls of racism continue to influence our lives.
There is a lot of injustice in the world. No doubt. Many hurtful things have happened and continue to happen. How do we reconcile that within an animist framework? Laura Giles explores one idea. If you have different ones, share them in the comments! We want to hear from you.
