Я редко смотрю что-то на YouTube и ещё реже рекомендую что-то. Но не так давно вышло видео из Конкокё Момояма Кёкай 金光教桃山教会 (Нэгай-но Мия 願いの宮) в котором блогерка прошла обучение в качестве служительницы мико 巫女 под руководством Киёси Момояма-сэнсэй きよ志桃山 先生 и Кристины-сан :

A think tank researcher said anti-government propaganda by Russian bot accounts was what has made the small far-right party Sanseito so popular leading up to the Upper House election.

Some old photos of the offering of Kibimai sacred dance at our shrine over 50 years ago! Not sure the exact dates, but more to come. ✨☺️

Your local shrine maiden here with a friendly reminder to please not rely on ChatGPT as a source for knowledge on Shinto ChatGPT can’t discern between sources that are legitimately verifiable or not in English, so relying on it to explain the more delicate, detailed aspects of Shinto is unwise

Ещё одно 9 мая Ещё один день карнавала милитаризма День, в который вместо "Никогда снова" опять звучат "Можем повторить" День, когда память о всех тех невероятных людских жертвах, огромной ценой установивших мир, предаётся в угоду амбиций отдельных "начальников" День, когда мы ничему не учимся...

I completely forgot to post this here, but I recently received "An Illustrated Guide to Japanese God's and Shrines"(日本の神様と神社の教科書), a book written by Shibuya Nobuhiro(渋谷 申博), a researcher in the history of religions who continues to conduct field research at jinja (神社) and otera(お寺) throughout Japan.

The Buddhadharma is not far removed: it is within the mind and near at hand.
Suchness is not without: abandon the body and how could it be found? 
Delusion or awakening are both within us: the moment we raise the thought [of bodhi] we are already there. 
Neither wisdom nor ignorance is something other: if we practice with conviction we will immediately realize enlightenment. — Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi, 774–835 CE)

Trump, Putin (or "Trumputin", lol) and Xi Jinping have lots of similarities and shared interests and all of them do make our world more and more tyrannic. No matter where we are from, we shall collaborate together and strengthen our civil societies in order to continue to fight back against them. 🙏

Happy #ToriiTuesday! The series will resume soon (if I can catch a break). My bestie & I found this GOLD Inari shrine at Zuiryūji 瑞龍寺 in Ōmi-Hachiman this weekend & I may have fangirled way too hard. 😂🌟⛩️ Kinsei Inari Daimyōjin 金生稲荷大明神 is now collecting donations to restore the #torii to glory.

Today I practiced making shide (紙垂), a zigzag paper on a shimenawa rope (注連縄) or other sacred objects (in my case a sakaki branch 榊) that signifies the sacred power/presence of Kami-sama. This is much better than my very first attempts (*﹏*;)

The Shinto Shrine of Shusse Inari 🦊⛩️ in America want to make the first mobile shrine. Then they can make Shinto traditions and ceremonies more accessible. They're closing in on their deadline and not quite to their goal yet. Donations are tax deductible. tinyurl.com/yhz8r6bk

I practiced folding shikigami (敷紙) paper for the sanbo (三方) offering trays. I am incredibly grateful to @livingwithkami.bsky.social for the guidance on how to do it as correctly and formally as possible. It's still not perfect, so I need time to study and practice (⁠^⁠_⁠^⁠メ⁠)

I continue to add Shinto books to my small collection. Today I received the "New Guide to the Etiquette of Holding Shrine Ceremonies and Festivals" (新神社祭式行事作法教本) written by Numabe Harutomo (沼部 春友), an honorable guji (宮司) of Suga Jinja (須賀神社).

Around the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes, the Sun will set with the light shining directly on Kami-sama's altar, and it's always so beautiful to see! 🌸

Today is March 5th in Japan, which means it’s Miko day (巫女の日)! Not an official holiday, but definitely observed by those who practice or are interested in Shinto. Why March 5? Because of the play on words! 3 can be read as “mi” (三) 5 can be read as “ko” (五) As a Miko, I love today!

I feel deeply Shinto is a practice that can help heal the world, both from an individual and broad sense for all that is around us. The more that can be known about it, I feel very thankful as it may be able to help someone in their life. When we feel strong, we can make good changes in the world

Today is the Winter Solstice! Of course a special day like this means that I need to open the doors to my Kamidana ⛩️ The slip inside with my piece of Kamisama will be returned to the shrine tomorrow in preparation for the New Year.
A picture of a kamidana, a home Shinto shrine.
A wooden temple with open doors contains a slip of paper which holds a piece of the kami. In front is a mirror, along with a dish of rice and salt, flanked by jars for water and sake as well as holding branches with leaves.

I’m off to the hiromae this morning for toritsugi (取次). In Konkokyo, we have some things that are unique to our sect of Shinto. Toritsugi is one of them. It’s a session where you sit down with a priest and get a mediation between you and Kamisama. A conversation after saying what’s on your mind.

Today! I’m giving a talk @ 5pm at UCSB abt how people make space for Shinto ritual outside of Japan & shrine precincts. We’ll take a trip to some unlikely locations where kami worship takes place: 19th C worlds fairs, a UK brewery, anime cons, and… a food truck?! No Zoom but open to the public!
