Animism's Morals Seen In The Modern World
It is good to respect everything.
Today, many people believe respect is the "golden rule". People believe that if you respect others, you will get respect in return. Animists strongly believe in respect. They respect literally everything, living or nonliving. In modern times, people mainly just respect living things as they feel things that are living are much more important, because, they're simply living.
It is important to protect what you care for.
Almost everyone believes this. A simple example of protecting what you care about is protecting your family or loved ones. Animists believe in protecting their villages and themselves. In order to do this, they would use different types of spells and witch craft for protection.
It is important to worship all spirits.
Some religions that practice this are paganism, shamanism (which is a lot like animism), and theism. These religions all worship spirits or deities. Shamanism is probably the closest religion to animism. According to Carla Meeke, "Shamanism is the most ancient form of healing, practiced by humans world wide."
