Spirits, Gods, and Earth.

Their are two kinds of Gods White Gods and Black Gods. The color of the gods is a place holder or representation of what kind of god that conotates what kind of god it is. White gods and goddesses are gods and goddesses that are transitory or have a dwelling place off of the world. These gods are your classic anamorphic gods like Thor and Odin in the various halls in Asgard. The black gods are from the planet earth. Spirits are beings kinda like people but live in nature and has some sort of power like being able to take a person to another realm and the protection of a place. Were as a god is something that can manipulate the world around it usually after some sort of ritual. Gods usually have control over an aspect of nature like weather but also have control over an action of man like warfare or technology. Thor has control over warfare as much as Odin does but Odin specialty is the runes were as Thor seems to be weather. The Gods and Goddesses of the German and Norse tradition follow the gods in their rituals in very much the same manner as one would worship the spirits and their respect and veneration is like that of the gods. Wine is poured on a tree as much in the same way as wine is blotted on the gods image. In the end spirits have a broader rang of things they can do and the effects are very direct but with the gods the magnitude of that power is greater. In this way spirits and gods are worship and given offerings in different ways. Dancing singing and the burning of sage in front of a tree or stone is usually the way of celebrating a spirit or god and goddesses of the earth. However gods and and goddesses usually universally have some form of communication either by divination and have a process of ritual that has been proven to work or has been passed down for generation. Were as a spirit has less ritual and their dwelling place as stated above is usually a tree or some aspect of nature. A black god or goddess have their dwelling places but the practice of worship is different. Lets use loas as an example their are red and their are white both are traditionally found in the same way but the red loa is from North America and the white are from Africa. You see? The Black Gods are like the red and the White gods are like the white. That is the most simple way of explaining it, the house of the black god and goddess can be anywhere theirs one that lives next to a gas station in Pajaro California. White Gods have a place that has been selected by the god or given to them by a follower. Alters and places of ritual usually fall into the second category.
-Earth-
Earth always has a say and through experience in the same way that a sink hole will develop or a dam breaks is the way that earth has a say pertaining to the will of the gods and spirits. Spirits are less manipulative of nature and they live with almost less inhibition when it has her way. The gods can manipulate nature of the planet but eventually the world will do what it does. That's the best way to describe it.
