Intense psychological turmoil - and encounters
#7
The Baining people are interesting, they straight up just get possessed by animal spirits as part of initiation.  I'm not clear on the difference between elemental forces and those that are animal. Maybe small groups of people links with animal spirits and the larger the population gets the more forces gets involved until you end up with Neptune and Zeus.

I have had encounters with animals spirits, my understanding is that they are guides and also sometimes guardians.

"The Baining firedance is also a rite of passage for initiating young men into adulthood; during the ceremony the dancers are considered to be possessed by anthropomorphised animal spirits or masalai that enhance the dancer's own masculinity"
