😇👋A MONTH OF NO GODS🧳⛩️
There is a quaint belief that in the 10th month the gods of Japan congregate for a great gathering to discuss matchmaking at Izumo-taisha (出雲大社) in Shimane Prefecture.
Only hard-of-hearing Ebisu and the Sun Goddess miss this annual pilgrimage.
Further reading:
In the tenth month of the traditional lunar calendar, a festival is held to welcome all the gods to Izumo Grand Shrine. It is believed that the gods convene at Izumo Shrine in October to discuss the coming year’s marriages, deaths, and births. For this reason, people around the Izumo area call October kamiarizuki (“the month with gods”), but the rest of Japan calls October Kannazuki (“the month without gods”).

@camelliakyoto is a great account to follow on Mastodon for historical Japanese culture.
Seems like they probably haven’t been doing that for a while.
The gods checking in:
Damn dude this shit is a fucking mess
Bro should we do something
They stop the Mongolians and then they gave up after that

Poor Ammy 🥲
Also gotta love the deaf god saying fuck that to it
Well, they’re not going to like what they see.
When the game dev team goes on vacation
They’ve been slacking off for a while.
It takes them a whole month and the world’s still in the state it’s in?
Somehow, I don’t think these are especially powerful gods.
There is a anime movie on Netflix about it.
What a coincidence, that’s what I call all the months.
