Earliest ancient African mythology told tales animating their ancient Animist spiritual beliefs, the oldest known spiritual belief system in the world. Animism is the belief that all natural entities-including animals, plants, living rock, rivers, wind and fire -possess a spiritual essence, consciousness, or "soul". Animism is the belief that everything is imbued with the "vital life forces" known as "soul" and "spirit", an essence of the Creator, and that everything has its own place in Nature and Creation.
Mythos: The Prescient Kings presents three such animating mythologies, the first of the Worshipful Ptah, earliest of the ancient Priest-Kings, and the Diviner of the Way. Animism is the foundational worldview of early African spirituality, viewing the world as alive with spirit in all natural elements. Early African mythology is inseparable from this belief, and the maintenance of harmony with the spiritual realm.
