Animism in the Modern World

This was originally scheduled as a slightly different Animism workshop to be lead by Dr. Craig and Gloriana Miller, but they canceled at the last moment.  They provided no reason for the cancelation, so we will just hope that whatever emergency prempted them has worked out well.

Animism in the Modern World

Animism is the belief that everything has a soul, and is in many ways a basis for much of modern religious and Magickal practice. This presentation is an examination of ancient animism, at least what we know of it, and how to apply it now to create changes in our modern world. This will include an interactive discussion where we can all share how animism might synchronize or clash with our personal belief systems.

Facilitated by Johnson Davis

Johnson Davis has been a practicing pagan for 23 years and a presenter/author for 12 years. Trained as a scientist, he approaches spiritual and metaphysical worlds with a maddening combination of acceptance and skepticism. So, he believes some crazy things, though he knows they are crazy. And why not? Most people believe in gravity, and it turns out to be pretty crazy when you try to explain why it actually works. Johnson currently serves on the board for the Church of the Earth of NC and is a local coordinator for the annual Central NC Pagan Pride Day Festival.
