Graham Harvey speaks on Animism
The oldest living religion, Animism, has a new advocate in pagan expert, Graham Harvey. But it's not the old idea of 'beliefs in spirits'. Harvey says that plants, animals, rocks and fish are just some of the significant others we should be communicating with to heighten our cosmic consciousness and environmental awareness. We also hear from practising pagans in South Australia.
The series is called "The Spirit of Things," and next week, I am told, it will feature another Pagan academic, Doug Ezzy of the University of Tasmania.

I unfortunately missed both Graham Harvey and Doug Ezzy at the AASR conference. I was catching a plane home when Harvey was speaking and was giving my own paper at the same time as Ezzy.
I had forgotten to check the Spirit of Things website for a while, thanks for posting about this.
that was a great interview...
check out the work we are doing with new animism...
