A Tradition is a complete Animism "religion" that interacts with the spirit world. "Basic" followers of a Tradition are referred to as Spiritists. Some members (Practitioners) join a Practice (or several) within the Tradition to learn to bind spirits of varying strength within Charms and Fetishes (or as a Spirit Ally), while the greatest among them (Shamans) use their Fetch) to travel the Spirit World in defense of their people.

Animist Traditions vary widely in scope: some are a type of Ancestor Worship, while others might worship powerful Nature Spirits or a "class" of spirits (such as earth spirits, fire spirits, animal spirits, et cetera).
