If you are approaching Shintoism as a way to study an advanced and long-standing animistic system, yes, absolutely Shintoism can be a good example. While Shintoism does not require initiation, it is extremely Japanese-centric, to the point where Shintoism considers Japan as the\u00a0\u201choly land\u201d of their religion. Some would say you can\u2019t really practice Shintoism outside of Japan, though that\u2019s a conservative attitude. One can also say of Shintoism, like other animist based faiths, that it is highly accepting of other religions and doesn\u2019t require its followers to adhere to one set of beliefs and practices. I would even say that the Japanese word\u00a0\u201cKami\u201d is closest to how I use the term\u00a0\u201cspirit\u201d in that it encompasses a range of beings from gods to land spirits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the questions. They really got me thinking. I haven\u2019t studied Japanese religions since college and now I want to go back to that material.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>emergentanimism: I have not read\u00a0\u201cSix Ways.\u201d I did a quick search on it and it certainly looks right up my alley.
