The Sumerians(6000BC) believed that Enki was the god of wisdom and created the first man named Adamah . The Babylonian's creation story was the Enuma Elish and named Apsu and Tiamat commingling, producing creation. Egyptians said Ptah created everything, the Kabbalahist's of Judaism say Ain Soph Aur created the world. The Hebrews say in Genesis of the bible,"" and God said," Let  us  make man in  our  image" The Hopi Indians say Tawa and Spider Woman created all. In early tablets, the Anunnaki were the high council of the gods and the head of them was An.  Someone once said, "God is a process" There are many in the world and there is a need for a belief system which honors a supreme being. Namaste'...may the God in you honor the God in me .

Spirits can be benevolent or malevolent. The shaman can treat sickness caused by malevolent spirits. The shaman can employ trance inducing techniques to incite visionary ecstasy and go on vision quests. The shaman's spirit can leave the body to enter the supernatural world to search for answers. The shaman evokes animal images as spirit guides, omens, and message-bearers. The shaman can tell the future,  scry , throw bones/runes, and perform other varied forms of divination

5. Supernatural beings BENEVOLENT supernatural beings are called by the Chukchee   vairgit . The most important are the 'benevolent beings sacrificed to' ( taaronyo vairgit ), those to whom the people bring sacrifices. Sacrifices are made to them only on special occasions, and are often mingled with those offered to the  kelet ('evil spirits') of the earth.' The sun, moon, stars, and constellations are also known as  vairgit ; but the sun is a special  vairgin , represented as a man clad in a bright garment, driving dogs or reindeer. He descends every evening to his wife, the 'Walking-around-Woman'. The moon is also represented as a man. He is not a vairgin . Among the stars, the pole-star is the principal  vairgin , There are several other  vairgit  beneficent to man, they represent a very loose and indefinite personification of the creative principle of the world.

6. gods The highest benevolent deity of the Gilyak is known as Ytsigy , according to Schrenck . But Sternberg says that they call the universe Kurn , and apply the same name to their highest anthropomorphic deity. The 'owner' spirit of the mountain, and the mountain itself, is named Pal, and the sea and its 'owner' they call Tol . Their name for the island of Sakhalin is Mif , literally 'earth', and they believe that the island is a sort of covering for a certain immense god.
