My Kami

My Kimi would have all objects that have a special meaning to me. It would be located in the corner of my kitchen. It would be there because the kitchen is the place where most of my company stays and everyone will be able to see it, in other words it will get a lot of attention. On my shrine I would have candles most likely the Sacred Heart of Jesus Candle in memory of all the people that I’ve lost throughout my life. I’d also have a crucifix on it to represent what religion I worship, along with rosary beads that I got from the Vatican. On each side of the shrine there will be pictures of both of my great grandmothers, in addition to their pictures I would put their prayer cards from their funeral. When I was a senior in high school I had a friend named Jasmine that passed away in a car accident and on my shrine I would put a stuffed animal that she gave me on it along with a red ribbon that all the seniors wore for respect. I would put flowers on it to represent life and all the living things. My dog Sammy is a big part of my life so on my shrine there would be a dog bone to keep him safe and healthy. I would put drawing that my niece and nephew made for me along with a bracelet that Kayle my niece told me never to lose. She gave it to me the day I moved out to go to college. I’d put a little statue of an angel so that it can watch over and protect all the people that I love. In the middle of my kami I would put this old glass perfume/makeup thing my great grandmother, Granny, gave to me before she passed away. I would put some kind of food on it so that my family and I would have food that will last a lifetime. And lastly I would put Holy water to fight away all bad sprits or anything that could cause harm or sadness to anyone I know and love. My shrine would be the most meaningful thing I had in my entire house.
