My religion includes animistic beliefs. Asking whether I enjoy it or not is a bit odd. It's simply the way that I see the world--my basic worldview. It's the way that I've lived my entire life and I don't have anything else to compare it to. For me, it is simply the way things are. I believe in transmigration.
I am a polytheist. I see things like rivers, lightening and particular land areas as being deities and having an individuality separate from me. I give offerings to a local river deity but I see the entire river as embodying the essence of that deity. I see lightening as a deity (Taranis). I see the concentrated energy in lightening as a physical manifestation of the presence of Taranis. I follow a Celtic path, perhaps this ancient poem will explain a little about how I view things:

The only animist I know is visiting family in Sudan.
He is a gentle and sweet man.
