The practice of investing all sorts of objects with supernatural powers: "There are those who have believed in hecastotheism or that any touchable animate and inanimate things have deified powers beyond natural existence and such hecastotheisms make a particular mountain, or hill, or some great rock, some waterfall, a lake, or a spring receive special worship, and is itself believed to be a deity. All of these appear to be a relic or system of hecastotheism."
