Weather and the seasons, creation, life, death and the afterlife, and the structure of the cosmos were all subject to religious explanations that invoked controlling gods, or a realm outside the visible inhabited by deities and mythical creatures. Religion provided a means to communicate with these gods. through ritual and prayer and these practicas when shared by members of a community helped to cement social groups, enforce hierarchies, and provide a deep sense of collective identity.
