Welcome, #FridayNightHistory listeners, to the first episode of Cleyera: Conversations on Shinto. Zoe (Cora) and I, two friends and practitioners of Shinto in the anglosphere, talk about their faith, its cultural, historical, and other contexts, and try to bring knowledge and community to others.

In this inaugural episode, we talk about some major terms relevant to Shinto, questions of Great Nature and kegare, discuss some of where we're coming from, and touch on some directions for future discussions.
