Animism Animism is the belief that all things are given life—that is, animated—by spirits. The word often refers specifically to the idea that aspects of nature—rivers, mountain, trees, and so forth—were originally parts of immortal beings. Animism plays an important role in many creation stories in Asia and elsewhere (see, for example,
Chinese Cosmogony,
Bön,
Korean Mythology,
Phi).
