The work delves into the concept that primitive cultures attribute spirits to inanimate objects and the environment, revealing how these beliefs relate to human psychology, particularly in the realm of subconscious thought. Freud draws connections between animistic beliefs and the psychological phenomena observed in neurotic individuals. In this publication, Freud investigates the correlation between animistic beliefs, magic, and the power of thought. He explains how primitive peoples perceived their reality through the lens of animism, where they believed everything, including nature, was animated by spirits. This worldview informed magical practices aimed at controlling these spirits. Freud further connects these ancient beliefs to modern psychological concepts, specifically highlighting how neurotic individuals display similar patterns of magical thinking, where they mistakenly believe their thoughts and wishes can influence reality. Freud's exploration emphasizes the psychological significance of these concepts, suggesting that the power attributed to thoughts is deeply rooted in human nature, spanning from primitive beliefs to contemporary psychological experiences.
