LETTER TO THE MONASTERY LEAD:

What are the steps before entering the Shrine?
Before entering the Shrine you have to bow as it is respectful and you must behave when you're
visiting a shrine because it's a sacred place, you will toss a coin in the offering box, ring the bell
2 or 3 times to tell the deity you have arrived, bow 90 degrees and clap 3 times.
How are rituals to a Kami performed?
Firstly, they bow to the shrine to show adoration, opening the sanctuary, presenting food offerings (except meat), Prayers
Music and dance, Offerings (sacred ones), the closing of the sanctuary, final adoration (bowing), and lastly
Ceremonial.
What is the job of a Shinto Priest and Maiden?
The job of a Shinto Priest is to perform ceremonies and is responsible for maintaining the shrine/keeping the shrine safe
from any harm, for Maidens' job is to assist the Shinto Priest in ceremonies and for the shrine.
If someone wishes to receive a rite of passage for their child, how do you proceed?:
The child will visit after birth which is 30-100 days to initiate the baby to be a new adherent
The Shichi-go-san festival, which takes place on November 15, is an opportunity for boys and girls aged 5 to 7 to pay their respects to the kami and pray for their healthy development, and by the time they turn 20, they will do another ritual.
Someone comes to the shrine and asks for information about Shintoism, what can you respond to them with using your knowledge about the religion?:
I'll give them a quick but comprehensive overview of Shintoism! I'll tell them that in this religion, there is no such thing as right or wrong because no one is perfect, and humans are supposed to be good, with evil generated by evil spirits.
(OPTIONAL) Based on your character; which other Kami would they worship?
tenjin.
