Having just a little fun as I think of my local kami and the ways my region has its own energy. I live in horse country and our little town is known for horse and carriages. So I was thinking about how a local kami might come across.

Looking into the color differences, black horses in Shinto represent rain or the need for rain. While white horses represent the sun. And we definitely need the rain.

The activity level at Aso Volcano is now low enough that they have performed a Shinto blessing for the first time since 2020. kumanichi.com/articles/1073819

These are definitely torii. They're a shinto thing, but also a common sight in Buddhist temples.

The statue on the left is a tanuki, and the other is... a mother tanuki breast feeding a baby tanuki? 🤨

Stretching myself artistically. Trying out some different aesthetics as I create for the Kami, which I don't think I had done in the past. So this was a nice meditative piece as I figured some things out.

(this is my representation, my puzzling out artistically)

Rereading my books on Shinto. It continues to call to my heart. Realizing where my animistic practices pull from. It lines up so well with my kemeticism, it’s really great.
