Hemp In Religion

http://www.taima.org/en/shinto.htm

Extractions: Hempen paper and fibre 1. Overview Hemp has an important function in the mythology of Shinto, the "Way of the Gods" , as the ancient indigenous religion of Japan is known. Hemp was used to purify, to drive out evil (exorcism). Hemp seeds were used in Shinto marriage ceremonies. In some ceremonies hemp leaves were burnt as an "invitation to the spirits". (Moore) Even today there are shinto ceremonies at major shrines such as Ise Jingu in Mie prefecture and other shrines that involve the burning of taima (marijuana). The priests' clothes were made from hemp linen and and bell ropes in shrines (see image to the right) were made from hemp too. Hemp for bell ropes is still grown in Nagano prefecture today. Several hemp fields are cultivated on Shikoku (one of the four main islands of Japan) to make ceremonial linen clothes for the Imperial family and for Shinto priests.
Tsubaki Kannagara Jinjya - Shinto Ceremony
Home Membership shinto Aikido Misogi Shu Ho Macrobiotics Rev. KoichiBarrish The Branch of Tsubaki O' Kami Yashiro shinto Ceremony
http://kannagara.org/Ceremony.htm

Extractions: Shinto Ceremony Shinto Ceremony is direct communion with the fountainhead of cosmic life. Shinto Ceremony (outwardly unchanged for millenia) transcends space (the horizontal dimension) and time (the vertical dimension) connecting with the primeval truth of life. Shinto Ceremony places participants in a space between myth and practicality - vibrating with potentiality - experiencing directly life's mysteries. Shinto Ceremony brings intuitive knowledge to the surface of the modern mind - resulting naturally in deep humility and gratitude for the gifts of life. Flow of Ceremony Shubatsu no Gi - ritual purification of the Shinsen (food offerings), the ceremonial objects, the priests, participants and the area. As participants bow, Kannushi (Shinto Priest) recites Harae no Kotoba (words of purification) calling on the Harae do no OhKami (Plural. The six Kami of purification) to cleanse the area of Kegare (impurity) that may obscure the pure energy of divine nature. Kannushi then waves harai gushi (wand of purification and antennae for the Harae do no OhKami) to sweep away stagnation. Saishu Ittsupai - at the beginning of the ceremony the priest bows his head to the divine.

Tsubaki Kannagara Jinjya - Shinto And Aikido
Home Membership shinto Ceremony Misogi Shu Ho Macrobiotics Rev. KoichiBarrish The Branch of Tsubaki O' Kami Yashiro shinto and Aikido
http://kannagara.org/Shinto.htm

Extractions: What is Shinto? The word Shinto comes from two kanji (pictographs) "Shin" - Kami, divine being, that which inspires awe and reverence, and "To" or "Do" - Michi, way, method, path. The Reverend Yukiyasu Yamamoto, Tsubaki OhKami Yashiro Gon Guji (Assistant High Priest) has explained Shinto as a profound spiritual mechanism to balance the modern mind - transcending the domain of religion. What is Aikido and how does it relate to Shinto? Ai (meeting, joining, confluence), Ki (spirit, vibration, power, essence), Do/Michi (path, method, way) is a potent budo (martial path) that evolved from and reflects Shinto. Aiki movement, powerfully flowing spiralic technique centers and purifies us as we holographically entrain with the Golden Mean Spiral. This spiral is the basis for all life in our universe. The 5/7 ratio logarithmic spiral is as true for galactic discs as for the DNA helix , sub-atomic particle movement and all phenomena in between. This helical form is the same as in shimenawa, gohei, and shide (magical accesories in a Shinto shrine). When we physiologically create this archetypical form through Aiki movement we create the geometry of awareness and the geometry of Musubi. Ultimately we experience an inner correctness placing us consciously within a cosmic evolving harmony.

As seen in shinto mythology, the kami express their sacredness and power through their embodiment in Nature, such as the sun, moon, wind, trees, rivers, and mountains. Both kami and man are defined in relation to Nature or as a part of Nature.

http://jin.jcic.or.jp/access/religion/shinto.html

Extractions: HAGA LIBRARY INC. The word Shinto, which is often translated as "the way of the gods," is written with two Chinese characters. The first character, which is pronounced kami, when used alone means "god", "deity" or "divine power", and the second character means "way" or "path". With the introduction of the paddy-field system during the Yayoi period (300 B.C.—300 A.D.), the agricultural rituals and festivals that later became part of Shinto began to develop. Although the word kami can be used to refer to a single god, it is also used as the collective term for the myriad gods which have been the central objects of worship in Japan from as far back as the Yayoi period. The kami are part of all aspects of life and manifest themselves in various forms. There are nature

Shinto Architecture
shinto Architecture, Ise Shrine and waterfalls. shinto shrines are placeswhere kami are enshrined, and also where people can worship.
http://jin.jcic.or.jp/access/arch/shinto.html

Extractions: HAGA LIBRARY INC. Followers of Shinto believe that a kami (deity) exists in virtually every natural object or phenomenon, from active volcanoes and beautiful mountains to trees, rocks, and waterfalls. Shinto shrines are places where kami are enshrined, and also where people can worship. Komainu , pairs of lionlike figures placed in front of the gates or main halls of many shrines, serve as shrine guardians. Temporary main halls were constructed to house the kami on special occasions. This style of building is said to date from about 300 B.C. The main shrine building of the Sumiyoshi Shrine in Osaka is similar to this temporary building type and is thought to preserve the appearance of ancient religious buildings. The other major style for the main hall draws its simple shape from the granaries and treasure storehouses of prehistoric Japan. The best example of this style is the Ise Shrine, in Mie Prefecture. Its inner shrine is consecrated to Amaterasu Omikami, the sun goddess. The outer shrine is dedicated to the grain goddess, Toyouke no Omikami.

Shinto
A collection of information on the shinto Kami.
http://quasisemi.com/myth/

Extractions: Z Kami In Shinto their are eight million kami, however the number eight was also used to denote many, so lets just say their are lots of them. Every rock, animal, spring, emotion, quality and even person has a kami associated with it. The spirits of the dead are even kami. At some point it would be useful to define exactly what is a kami. There are number of possible answers to this, from the western perspective the easiest answer would be just to call them gods (in the Greek and Roman panthiestic tradition), but I think this mis-reperesents things. When your father dies his spirit becomes a kami. They quite literally permeate every aspect of Shinto culture. These pages originally are derived from notes I took while investigating the subject. They are by no means perfect but I do my best to keep it accurate. The accuracy of mythology is very difficult to asertain because of conflicting version of stories. If you know nothing about the kami I suggest you start with Amaterasu and Susano . Then move on to Izanagi and Izanami Random Notes Kojiki - Records of Ancient Matters. Written in A.D. 712. One of two books setting forth the mythological past of Shinto. Was written in Chinese characters, but contains peculiarities of Japanese syntax missing from the Kojiki. The book was written from the spoken word of Hyeda no Are (who is believed to be woman). Appeared in the reign of Empress Gensho (715-723), but was commissioned by Empress Gemmio (708-715). The book was written by the court to legitimize the celestial origins of the court and Japan. It contains myths, legends, anecdotes and folk etymologies centered around the imperial and other leading families. It contains three books arranged in chronological fashion. Book one is the "Age of the Gods", Book two is about the first 15 emperors
FORE: Religion-Shinto-Introduction
Introduction to shinto. shinto and Ecology Practice and Orientationsto Nature. Rosemarie Bernard Harvard University. Introduction
http://environment.harvard.edu/religion/religion/shinto/

Extractions: Shinto (or kannagara no michi, Today, there are more than 80,000 Shinto shrines that are scattered all over the Japanese archipelago. There deities are worshiped and rituals are still performed according to the general patterns established by the state for all shrines in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yet this is carried out in keeping with localized tradition and regional or community preferences. Regionality of Shinto religious practice accounts for great diversity in Shinto, while those different instances share certain basic beliefs and values. It is impossible to consider the topic of Shinto and ecology without making reference to the broader issue of Japanese cultural attitudes to the natural environment. This is because what one might describe as Shinto beliefs are often values that are entrenched in Japanese folk culture in general, and which find expression in other areas beyond religion, from sociopolitical organization to aesthetics, and so on. Yet, as Conrad Totman has noted in his work on the history of forestry in Japan
