21.04.2025: Whispered Oracles and Footnotes update:
Published an analysis of The Whispered Oracle of Hakurei.
There was a lot to unpack with this very peculiar book that had some strangeness going on around it's premature release.
Turns out that under the lighthearted surface it is a kind of a ritual aimed at re-defining and re-establishing Gensokyo.
Added a mention of the omikuji and Whispered Oracle to the Shinto section.
Added few little things to the mythosphere article related to some recent events.
Added a mention of the Japanese being aware of something like the ultraterrestrial hypothesis to the Ultraterrestrial Fantasy Organisms page.
Forgot to add a link to the "incredible fascinating article" I talk about in the Spring Equinox Letter...that has been now corrected.
Pretty sure I also made another minor update somewhere but I kinda forgot to keep track of it and what it was..! Sorry about that.
The site has exceeded 36000 views.
09.04.2025: Essence of Shinto update:
Published a Review of Essence of Shinto, a fascinating book with a somewhat troubling background.
What to make of it when good ideas come from questionable background? It is always a challenging question.
While I have not been quite as active as I hoped with updates, there is a very substantial update to the Practice Mode section incoming.
This will also include the long-promised first downloadable text...Please wait warmly, Emissary is editorializing...
The Whispered Oracle of the Hakurei Shrine will deserve it's own update.
It's incredible we have a canonical Touhou divination book now.
The site has breached 33000 views! Too bad I could not squeeze out something to celebrated 30k.
