I’ve been growing an interest in Shinto because I tend to find (especially lately) that my beliefs about spirits don’t seem to be as different from the Shinto belief of Youkai. In fact I’m very likely to side with Shinto beliefs if I got into a argument as to wether or not spirits in general are real. But I want to learn more about the Kami by speaking to them. And I’m not sure which one to contact first.
What are some good Kami to start contacting for someone who is new to Japanese magic?
Omoikane God of Wisdom and Intelligence, I think if you establish contact it’s going to be a very interesting experience though they tend not to answer but good luck!
