What reading level is Occult Japan, Or, the Way of the Gods : An Esoteric Study of Japanese Personality And Possession book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In short, it is omnipresent, this Shint5 symbol.
Its religious significance it would be hard to overestimate. It is to Shinto what the 236 OCCULT JAPAN.
crucifix is to Christianity and a great deal more; one of those ■ symbols which modern defenders of the faith take much pains to assure you is only a symbol, and no pains whatever to prevent the people from wor- shiping as a god. As Shintoists are not so much distressed to harmonize their beliefs with science, being as yet unfired by the burnin...g desire to know the reasons of things, they make small distinction between \!a.Q. gohei and the god. In many cases they make none at all.
For there are two kinds of gohei ; the one, the harai-bei or purification present, and the other, the shintai or god's body. The first has for analogue in Christianity the crucifix.
It is the universal Shinto symbol of conse- cration. Wherever you meet it you may know the spot at once for holy ground dedi- cate to the god ; and specimens of it may be seen in profusion about any Shinto temple.
