"whatever the degree of organization their beliefs were subjected to they were the sort of natural, nature-related beliefs that each person would find self-evident for themselves and be constantly reinforced by their surroundings."
I was trying to find the words to say that with all morning, Nigel. I think the question is "what are the wellsprings feeding this form of spirituality". With the big monotheistic patriarchies its some book. I like to think that with the ancients it was land/nature/sky, and that this made their spirituality more "authentic".
