It was roughly three days ago when I really actually realized "Oh wait, most people DON'T grow up just drenched in an animist worldview."
This probably explains why my magic/esoteric studies have always taken such a weird, sometimes frustrating path.
@indi I don't think mine were ever as strong as yours, but as a kid I always felt it normal to talk to the trees and feel the mood of the forests. When folks were upset with tech that'd not work I'd suggest they treat it better, and then force a laugh when they looked at me weird >.>' Animism definitely just... makes sense to me, even though I've consciously lost a -lot- of my sense of it all
