Norito Purification

Spirits of purification

created for order of and the mother

that they inhabit the Sky,

exactly as when

The God Izanagi no Mikoto

bathed in the narrow estuary

of a covered river with trees

permanently leafy, in the South region.

 

With all the respect from the depth of our hearts

We ask that they hear us, such as the spirit that hears our

intent, with sharpened ears, together with

Spirits of the Sky and the Land,

Take the badness’s, disasters and sins and purify all.

Miroku Oomikami

You bless us and protect us

Meishu Sama

You bless us and protect us

For expansion of our soul

And the fulfillment of your will

 

Shinto Prayer Practices

At its core, Shinto is an animistic belief system. It teaches that everything in nature – from mountains and rivers to trees and rocks – possesses a spiritual essence or kami. This worldview has fostered a deep respect for the natural world and a sense of interconnectedness between humans, nature, and the divine.

Norito (祝詞) are liturgical texts or ritual incantations in Shinto, traditionally addressed to specific kami (deities) to convey praise, gratitude, or requests for blessings.

It’s my sixtieth trip around the sun this year. I share some wisdom, some photography, some poetry and prayers for the journey ahead.
