A "Creature Comfort" video to affirm, inspire, give context to, and, yes, comfort your creature self as you unplug from burnout and the life of a machine and remember how to be *alive* again.

Is there a difference between animism and anthropormorphism and why does it matter?

I would submit: yes - there is a difference.

One maintains stories human supremacy and offers a false sense of comfort, a way of trying to tame the world down into something as small as we are.

And the other… well, the other acknowledges how small we are, how challenging the world can be. But it also offers a deeper sense of belonging and kinship.

One holds us as not-creature. The other helps us be creatures.

By this point, you can probably guess which I’ll choose!

What do you think? Can you feel the difference?

Feel free to share as a comment. I’d welcome hearing it.

If this spoke to you, it helps me immensely if you could take a few moments to help spread the word by liking, sharing (either publicly or with a friend), commenting back, etc <3

P.S. I’m hoping the self-paced course I've been working on, full of practical exercises and skills, to support your journey back to being creature-not-machine again will be ready to go by the end of the month.

P.P.S. In the meantime, I’m also running a five-day flash sale of Insight 2026 (divination through tarot cards to give you something to orient by through the coming year) in honor of the Lunar New Year. Feb 16th-21st. If you’re wondering what guidance the Otherworld has for you at this moment in your life and our shared history, this might be just the thing.
