Lots of people I see around the more spiritual corners of the fediverse identify as some kind of "animist". I'm curious, what do you mean exactly by animism? Are spirits different from human souls, and if yes, in what way? Do they all possess personhood or is it reserved for humans (and maybe other "biological" entities)? Do spirits inhabit things like a home they can go in and out of, or like a body they are bound to until its destruction? How do you interact with non-human spirits? Are there spirits at all, or do you define animism in a completely different way and reject the label "spirit"?
