The Sjowaázh traditionally believed in a "spirit-complex". The "spirit-complex" links all spirits together; spirits leave it when a person is born, and his spirit reenters the spirit-complex when he dies. This spirit-complex was held to be the source of morality. Since everyone is of the spirit-complex, morality involves both respect for the living and the dead.--> | The Sjowaázh traditionally believed in a "spirit-complex".
