Focusing on the traditional cosmology of the Sa'dan Toraja of Indonesia, this article aims to contribute to the recent revival of the animism debate within anthropology (Descola 1992, 1996; Ingold 2000; Viveiros de Castro 1998; Bird- David 1999; Stringer 1999; Pedersen 2001) and to further our understanding of a particular Indonesian cosmos (see also Van der Veen 1965; Nooy-Palm 1979; Bigalke 1981). This is a cosmos which, as the local priests put it, was brought into being when 'the sovereign of the word' (datunna kada) died and decomposed.
