Engaging with cultures isn't a bad thing; I get there are weeaboos out there that take it too far, but how is this any worse than omamori which are mass produced in Chinese factories? I have omamori specifically bought from Shinto shrines, as well as one made from a friend and I don't find her efforts any more superficial. I'd like to believe any gods would protect those which feel genuine towards them. That's all, no shade, just my input; wishing good health to everyone right now.Elehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18321906609506480100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237007939593723536.post-12487005432926602052020-10-26T04:02:34.200-07:002020-10-26T04:02:34.200-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Elehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18321906609506480100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237007939593723536.post-61079227561946068502020-07-19T02:18:49.795-07:002020-07-19T02:18:49.795-07:00I'm sorry but, the idea of crafting a sacred r...I'm sorry but, the idea of crafting a sacred religious Shinto talismans/charm when you don't actually worship/participate in the religion seems like an incredibly naive and culturally disrespectful thing to do? While Shintoism is an open religion and any non-native Japanese person is allowed to visit a shrine to pray and/or purchase a omamori talisman from the shrine, it is very important to understand that only an actual trained Shinto priest is allowed to craft these sacred items. I know you made this tutorial just as a "fun and unique crafting activity", but these self-made omomori charms are 100% superficial and will have absolutely ZERO protection/luck effect on it's wearer... that is not only the rules of the religion itself, but also the fundamental do's-and-dont's of using cultural faith magic practices which every eclectic spiritually-inclined person should recognise.Angel Burmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651800457316937856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237007939593723536.post-34588984409866871122020-04-21T17:24:47.370-07:002020-04-21T17:24:47.370-07:00where do i find a prayer paper for luckwhere do i find a prayer paper for luckAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275754182516636233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237007939593723536.post-55407486366070831822020-04-03T07:49:48.686-07:002020-04-03T07:49:48.686-07:00can i flip the ofuda, i accidentally print it too ...can i flip the ofuda, i accidentally print it too largeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856125251019257192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237007939593723536.post-21439529792911948102018-05-22T03:32:13.839-07:002018-05-22T03:32:13.839-07:00This is an interesting post.

I think it really has to do with what you believe! So really it wouldn't hurt to try, I am catholic, yet I believe these charms are really effective :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070162126975629552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237007939593723536.post-57542574355194009702016-10-29T04:28:26.574-07:002016-10-29T04:28:26.574-07:00you can buy on www.omamori.com (Y)you can buy on www.omamori.com (Y)minkiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809505364570702151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237007939593723536.post-12313109321841477282016-07-06T18:35:35.675-07:002016-07-06T18:35:35.675-07:00Would it still be effective even though My religio...Would it still be effective even though My religion is not Shintoism??
