CH430 Ancestral Spirits
***
Because the spirituality of Ancestral spirits is born directly from the faith energy of their believers, such deities are fully exposed to belief contamination from the very moment of their birth.
In other words, an Ancestral spirit is born already shaped entirely by what its believers think it is.
Returning to the example of the World Tree—
The reason World Trees grew so vast was simple– the elves believed a World Tree should be vast, capable of encompassing worlds. And because the nascent spirituality of the tree was newly born—lacking self-awareness or independent will—it accepted that belief as truth and norm.
Thus, its first 'miracle' was often nothing more than enabling itself to grow—expanding its trunk, roots, and canopy—to meet the grand expectations of its believers.
Navi, however, were fundamentally different.
