If you've been following the shi-yaku-jin no hokora FaceBook page, you'll have noticed that over the past several years or so they've posted a wide variety of sources and websites — jinja, dôkyô, butsu, jukyô, shugendô, shingon-shû, zen, onmyôdô, inari, kannon, jizô, daruma, omamori, yôkai, obakemono and Japanese culture.

One of the things they have in common is that they all contribute in some way to the folklore and practices that make up minzoku shintô.

These are not the only sources, and the particular composition of the mix varies from location to location, and even from person to person.

This is one of the greatest strengths of minzoku shintô: the ability to incorporate elements from different outside sources and in the process give them a particular local look and feel.
