Vadim Mozhzhevelnik @mozhzhevelnik.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Today 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 (*﹏*;) 121

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! 412325

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 0123
