BTW I went to an all day shinto rite, and met a lot of people interested in trad culture. You have to be dedicated to do something like that for 24 hrs straight in the rain. Not sure if that’s what you’re looking for… but finding people that like what you like is key imho.
To paraphrase: If you like going to shrines and she likes to hit the rock… that shit not gonna work out, son.
