At the beginning of this month I released a new essay to my patrons on Patreon. This essay is a bit different from normal, because I was asked to speak, in English, to a Japanese audience, about Shinto, and the essay is based on my notes for that. As a result, it says more about what I personally think about Shinto, rather than simply reporting the current situation as accurately as I can.
If you are interested, back numbers of the essays are available through the Patreon, so please take a look.
