the background music is good but I really can't hear you reading it.......... you might wanna make it smaller so that i can stay focus on what you're saying :) great video though =)
Is most common to pray at jinja (shrine), but if you are not in Japan, it is unlikely to find one nearby.
But when praying (otherwise from place), it is common to bow twice, and clap your hands twice so that the gods hear you. Then, bow again after prayer.
Also, there are prayer plaques (ema) that a prayer is written on, but they are hung in the shrine, so I am not sure if you are able to do this.
I always loved how Shintoism was like, about everything had a soul and..well I forget and cannot explain sadly. I watched a fan made one about shinto, amazinly they got "amaterasu" right but said "shinto" wrong, they said it like ( Shin-Two ) I quickly went to another vid seeing that that was fan made, this looks real :D
I believe the Shinto stories to be True..To me to me..But I pray to Amaterasu..She had once come into my dreams and saved me from my own personal demons..she watches over my mother and father who are kami spirits now....As she the holy mother to come to me..gives me a better purpose in life and this world..I wrote a song to praise her name...called..Goddess whom we Praise...Shinto for me is my religions and I don't consider it myth.
@jasonracey LOL The actress is Zhang Ziyi and she is Chinese and the film they are showing is called "The memories of a Geisha" and that is the film where she is acting,she is not a Shrine Maiden,she is a Geisha!
@naters120 jaa the film itself is not associated with shinto myths.... i made the video merely for my project in grade 10... i just put together random videos of japanese things that made it look good :S sorry guys... i got a lot of comments about the geisha and the shinto thing.. i didn't know it would be that big of a deal :S
I have a question, if a religion prompts love and appreciation of "Gods" creations, it seems that when someone starts calling others to repent from their "demon" ways, they should examine their own heart. Thanks for the video, it was great.
Would have been nice if you had qualified why Shinto needed to be distinguished from Buddhism and maybe stated that most Shinto academics believe it to date some 25,000 years.
@cobrakun same here iv converted to shinto and im only 11 years old

shinto gods are everywhere, ghosts, poltergeist, spirits,
all spirits are kami, all kami are gods, from weak to strong, from a tree spirit to the sun spirit Amaterasu

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Same goes for people who follow glass religions. Which is to say, all of them.
