[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 9256697, member: 1125"] I use genealogical animism which means all divinities are personified nature spirits in a family/tribal structure. For instance - Sky, Earth, Fire and Ocean are the primal four born of the Cosmic Duality. Fire and Earth give birth to Magma who dwells within the Earthmother. Magma and Mountain give birth to the Volcano, Earthquake and Dragons while Magma and Wellspring meet and give birth to Flood, River, Swamp, Rock, Sand, Soil and Clay. Rock and Storm give birth to the Giants, while Rock and Fire give birth to Dwarfs. Soil and Rain give birth to the Trees and the Plains, the Trees then birth Elfs while the Plains and River birth humans. Most divinities are nature spirits (who interact with mortals as nymphs, genius loci, immortals etc) a few such spirits gain enough influence to claim their own plane as gods - that's the difference, gods have their own planar domain which they manifest, while spirits merely dwell in an existing plane (including the Material Plane) [/QUOTE]
