Animism

Mona does not lead an interesting life and prefers it that way. Afterall, change is inconvenient and a little scary. Her life is thrown into high-gear when she runs into a strange man (literally), and her journey begins. Mona is soon thrust into a world of great power and great mystery. She learns that she is more and can do more than she thought humanly possible.

ANIMISM is not a religion and includes believers of most religions on this planet. Animism is an understanding of what the world is. Animists believe all life is spirit, as opposed to matter. Humans have souls... spirits... energy (whatever you'd like to call it), as do animals, insects, plants, bodies of water, rocks, mountains, weather systems, and so on. All are both somewhat good and somewhat evil, but the relevant characteristic is power, not morality.

Animists believe even earthly events have spiritual causes. Spirits/energies influence the success or disaster of embodied human beings. Many Earthly energies are easily offended and vindictive. Others feel threatened and defend themselves by harming humans. Upset spirits knock life off balance, causing trouble ranging from headaches to hurricanes.

This novel follows Mona through the discovery of her abilities to affect the Earthly energy of everything around her.
