Detailed explanation-1: -Animism is the doctrine that every natural thing in the universe has a soul. If you believe in animism, you believe that ostriches, cactuses, mountains, and thunder are all spiritual beings. Animism comes from the Latin word anima, meaning life, or soul.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to an oft-quoted definition from the Victorian anthropologist E. B. Tylor, animists believe in the “animation of all nature”, and are characterized as having “a sense of spiritual beings… inhabiting trees and rocks and waterfalls”.
Detailed explanation-3: -animism, belief in innumerable spiritual beings concerned with human affairs and capable of helping or harming human interests.
