Please join us for our once a year ceremony! 2022’s 夏越之祓 Nagoshi-no-Harae held on Thursday, June 30th at 7pm (pacific) on our “ShintoInari” YouTube channel. Please join us to when it’s time for the ceremony!
From ancient times, the Japanese people practiced 夏越之祓Nagoshi-no-Harae, a prayer to purify and to rid themselves of the first half of the year’s 厄難yakunan (illness, accident, fight etc…) or “bad luck” and kegare, or “withered spirit”. Over the course of the first half of the year, the energy of a person’s spirit is diminished by tiredness, stress, and other pressures, so Nagoshi-no-Harae rituals are performed every June to cleanse and refresh this energy and recharge the spirit. Shinto Shrine of Shusse Inari in America provides these traditional ceremonies with mystic rituals that have been passed down through the generations of our family.
The closing talk is “Type of Matsuri – Part 1.” If you wish to hear the closing talk, please become a member through our website or Patreon.com/ShintoInari.
