They copied nature. Their leaders assumed to themselves the names of the elements of nature believing that they would thus imbibe in themselves the energies and forces possessed by those elements of nature. The phenomena of nature were not given humanity, but the humanity or their leaders were given the names of the phenomena of Nature. This is the Doctrine of Morphomotheism.
