Achadhian Animism

Achadhian Animism is the belief that all living things have a spirit, and as such must be respected.



FORMATION

Seamus the Rat (ridetherails) was born in what is now known as the The Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire He had to live on his own from a very young age. One day, he had reaped the nearby forest of many of its Resources and so the spirit Fearann contacted him. He taught him about the spiritual world, and how the world must be treated. Seamus now tries to spread the teachings of Fearann to all who will listen.

Creation

Once there was nothing, a swirling void of energy barely forming existence itself. Out of the void appeared a new form, a new energy, Spiritual energy. The first spirit Tiodhlac Beatha Manipulated the swirling void to form land, water, and air. Finally Tiodhlac Beatha formed life. As the plants grew, so too did the spirits, each taking on the dominion of one of Tiodhlac Beatha’s original creations, Land, Water, Air, and life. The spirits worked with each other to allow the world to prosper, eventually creating humanity. Humanity is a force of many facets. Humanity has cultivated the land and allowed for enormous growth in nature. Humanity however is also a force of Death, Bloodshed, and destruction. We are selfish creatures who wish only for the betterment of ourselves and those who we hold dear, and to achieve this we take from likewise communities with no consideration on how it may affect them.

Duty/Morality

It is the instinct of all things to want, we all earn for one thing or another. But what we must remember is that when we take, another loses. Thus it is the Duty of all living things to respect all life, and for every life we take, we must allow another to grow.

LAND

The land gives us room to live, it feeds us and it protects us. The land provides various plants and animals for us to feed upon, however if we take too much without giving back, the land will be damaged. Everything from the smallest blade of grass to the tallest Oak provides for all who require its service, so we must repay that service in kind.

WATER

Water is the blood of all spiritual beings, it keeps all living things alive. Water also provides vast amounts of fish to feed upon, and a convenient way to travel. The Water is pure, however, to dilute the water, is to dilute the spiritual life force of all who rely on it. It is our duty to keep our waters clean, and not to disturb its natural flow.

AIR

Air is freedom, air is the force that makes us strong, and gives us our energy. Without air, we would not have the strength to live. We must respect the Air by allowing all to breath, by filling the air with smoke and ash we poison the air removing that crucial energy.

LIFE

Everything that lives must be respected, we must not shed blood unless it is for our own survival. We must not take what another may need to live, We must not think less of another being, no matter how small. We are all living things and we are all equal. We must not let our own beliefs interfere with the lives of others unless it benefits them. Finally we must not control others, we are all free beings, and we shall not choose another's actions for them.
