Fiddlers Green Oh, and I almost forgot... I must caution against just willy-nilly awakening Geni... Think about what the object does... Would you really want to be aware if you were a toilet seat? sweatdrop

patch99329 This has killed me. You have killed me *shakes fist* I'm stuck 50/50 between animism and...not animism. confused The only two ways I know how to make my mind up about such things? Read more and test. And so I ask the kind people of this thread to dump any interesting sources here for me to read. Thanks.
Religious, scholarly, sources, or just apocrypha? |

Fiddlers Green patch99329 Religious would be nice. 3nodding I had a look at some scholarly stuff. Ugh, a fair number are closed traditions... And the rest I'm not quite finished learning about to the point to share... and they don't seem to have much reliable online media. sweatdrop
Indeed.
Such a thing I am noticing alot.
However, animism is a thing one can discover for oneself. 3nodding
So that shall be my course of action. |

CuAnnan Koravin Perhaps breaking the object would free it. Not neccessarily. Could destroy it, could damage it, could have a backlash effect on the local geomancy. All depends on the means used to bind it in the first place.
CuAnnan Koravin I would think that the object would be maligned, and would not function properly as the energies would be channeled in an incorrect way. (that's sort of a complicated issue, hard for me to explain) I think what you're getting at, but I dissagree. Spirits can be used solely as batteries. |

Fiddlers Green Fair enough CuAnnan. 3nodding Koravin, I tend to agree on the binding and coercing stances. As far as what has a spirit, basically, what I get from what you're typing is: Living things have a spirit, but non-living things may or may not, and either way, the spirits are not closely associated with it. So, you hold that animus exists primarily in Living things, is this correct? |

Fiddlers Green TeaDidikai Interesting. The concept of dormant v. awake seems to be rather limited in the wider views on Animism I have come across. Have you come across mostly religious or scholarly views? We also use the term dormant very loosely, in that a dormant Genus may just not want to interact, or may choose not to. I suppose it would be better to classify it as active vs passive. Also, from my experience, Genus can be just as petty stubborn and obnoxious as anyone else. Altho there are some similar traits between them (we generally expect all Geni of the same material, size and shape to have vaguely similar attitudes so to speak, much as certain generalizations about species of animals occur).
This really sort of resonates with me somehow, but I'm not sure HOW exactly. I'd love to do more research on this. Pointers? |

But that's basing it from the perspective and awareness of a human. Perhaps enjoyment of a purpose is a product of function? Do the Geni have the same awareness as a human? I wouldn't think so... |
