Indigenous religions, a rich mosaic scattered throughout the world, are intrinsically linked to the land and its cycles. They’re not codified in scripture like many of the major religions, but are instead transmitted through oral tradition, ceremonies and intimate connections with nature. At the heart of these are animistic beliefs, in which spirits live in everything from mountains and rivers, to animals and plants. Ancestor veneration, community harmony and a cyclical understanding of time are common threads, shaping social structures and daily life. By no means are these belief systems uniform, with each Indigenous culture having its own specific cosmology and practices and spiritual sense — highlighting the diversity of human experience and connection to the land.
