Here's another way of thinking:
Animists see the otherworld as filled with things have personality and that you control.Thiests see the otherworld as filled with things that have personality and that you emulate.
Sorcerers see the otherworld as filled with things that do not have personality and that you control.
Mystics see see the otherworld as filled with things that do not have personality and that you emulate.
All generalizations are false. So is this one. But it helps me think about mystics.
