Shinto Beginner Guide Version 5.8.2023
Hi everyone,
My apologies for the constant re-posting of this guide. There is always some errors I miss when I release a new version and I'm very thankful to those who help me edit and refine the guide over time.
This is the most recent version as of May 8th 2023. Instead of a zip file, I've compiled it all in a single PDF you can download Here
In addition, this time I've also made a convenient online version from this link: www.livingwithkami.com/beginner For a practical reference, there is a list of shrines overseas, where to receive sacred items, a reading list, and a list of Norito as well.
I hope this can help our community and be an accessible resource.
I give my deep thanks to Kami-sama and everyone who helped me write and edit this guide, who contributed towards it, and who guided me through the years.
This guide was not written by myself alone but with the help of Kami-sama and the community.
I am only posting it here to begin with but please feel free to share it anywhere you like.
I may have to update it again this Autumn depending on the changes in the community, but this is the most recent version.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Rev. Olivia
