In many traditional cultures, the divisions between sacred and secular are less pronounced: potters venerate gods who shape human bodies from clay, fishermen and fisherwomen make offerings to the goddesses of river and sea, and smiths align with the lords of fire and metal. Work is not separate from life, and everyone participates in transforming the raw elemental powers into food, shelter, and offerings for both the human community and the gods.
