Shinto Beginner Pack / Shinto Starter Guides

Hello everyone,  I have compiled a series of documents for those new to Shinto. There is a total of 12. The following writing is also found in the first document “0. Preface and Orientation” in the package. I will possibly post some of the other articles I have written here on this blog, but ultimately I’ve made this as I will be going on a long-term break, stepping away from the broader Shinto community and only going to focus on Konko Faith, and events at my shrine, and personal writings at my own pace. The information contained in these documents has been gathered from my mere 10 years of study and experiences of Shinto practice, especially from my teachers and mentors, and my 6 years of experience licensed and ordained as a Shinto priestess of Konko Faith. (For Shinto learning, this is hardly a long time).  At the time of writing this, I’m a 28 year-old Canadian. I still have so much to learn and be taught. So please do not take this as me writing a complete, perfect guide. I have dated all the documents to show the time they were written and the information therein will evolve and grow in the future as well. There are some documents not written or compiled by me, too. I am deeply grateful to the authors of these documents for the valuable information that can help orient beginners to Shinto, and about home practice. These documents were especially and particularly compiled for those who live far from shrines. Even if you read through these documents, it will only provide you with a very bare bones understanding that has not really begun to scratch the surface of really deeply understanding Shinto with your heart.  There will always be more things to learn and understand, it is a lifetime period of learning, training, and most importantly: experiencing. I sincerely urge you as well to reach out to other priests and shrines, get involved in the Shinto community where you can. If you are blessed to live near a shrine, please get involved with the shrine and visit, as you will learn about Shinto so much easier there and experiencing than only reading. I have learned all I know thus far from other priests, elders, and mentors, and experiences thanks to their involvement in my life. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Rev. Olivia Bernkastel
