Animism is broken into various Traditions, in much the same way Theism is broken into separate pantheistic faiths. These Traditions can be further broken down into Practices, in much the same way that Pantheons can be broken down into worship of individual dieties.

• Animists usually form many Relationships with individual Spirits: in return they are able to create Charms and/or Fetishes (or merely acquire, if they are simple Spiritists), which are essential Foci with spirits bound into them.
• More advanced Animists (Practitioners and Shamans) form a strong relationship with a Spirit Ally or create a Fetch.
