I have no idea how true this was of historical folk models, but they do have the advantage of being worn to efficiency by the ages, kind of like common law

Even today we basically rely on old models and stories about human behavior day to day, more in abstractions that don't so obviously eschew physicalism eg "he's angry" covers the territory much better than "his cortisol levels are higher thanblahblahbl"

it's an old idea, it breaks if you much try to reduce it to some physicalist definition, and its super effective everyone understands "he mad" even though it's practically not much different than "the spirit of anger has taken him"
