Personally I disagree with you on that one, Fang. Animism might be considered as child's play by Western standards, but if anything The Ra material only brought me closer to that type of worldview. Maybe because of the way I was raised but I believe an animal, plant or inanimate object possesses a spirit. Respecting, honoring and looking after the bond with my ancestors and nature, spiritual guidance, commemorate the dead, these are things I value and practice in my day to day life. So if my ways are considered childish then I'm actually quite content about it because wouldn't that mean it's pure and curious by nature?
