A Prayer to Inari Ōkami Humbly, I approach the kami of Inari in prayer. With awe and reverence, I humbly speak these words: Morning and night, I will diligently work at my tasks, My family will not lessen its focus, nor will we neglect anything undone. I pray that the kami bestow on me encouragement and support to meet all challenges. Grant that the divine winds bring prosperity to my family. Bestow long life that is strong and solid. Grant that my descendants, for countless generations, Know protections, health, and longevity. Grant us safety from malevolent kami, and grant that my home and my body be protected from any malevolent deeds. If I commit an error, if I stray from my intended path, I pray that the kami help me correct my way. That once again I may hear clearly, That once again I may sit with open mind. Protect me in night. Protect me and shelter me in day. Grant me happiness. With awe and reverence, I humbly speak these words. -- source link
