""Animism or Thought Currents of Primitive Peoples"" is a book written by George William Gilmore that explores the concept of animism and its role in the beliefs and practices of primitive peoples. Animism is the belief that all objects, living or non-living, possess a spiritual essence or soul. Gilmore delves into the origins of animism, its impact on primitive societies, and how it has influenced modern religions and cultures. The book also examines the relationship between animism and other belief systems, such as shamanism and totemism. Through his research and analysis, Gilmore provides a comprehensive understanding of animism and its significance in the history of human spirituality.First there is the avenue of cult, where definite acts of devotion or gift (sacrifice) unfailingly indicate belief in the sentient and potent capabilities of the object addressed. It is obvious that even the most naive of savages pay no attention of this sort to objects which they conceive to be without the qualities of life, sensation, emotion, and power. The second avenue is that of folk-lore and mythology. To some this may appear trivial and unworthy of serious attention.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
