There's a few Shinto mailing lists but they get a bit dry sometimes .... you could probably build a small shrine, but it would need to be some special place that "called to you"

In my case, I have a forest on my property and there a few trees that just seem "special"

Alternatively, you could roll in some large stones and create a bit of special place with the right landscaping, moss, wetness...

yeah.... a Kamichu fix would be nice .... but to divert myself, I finally acquired and read/watched the Azumanga books and series. That was about the nicest New Year's present I could imagine to myself outside of another Kamichu fix. Azumanga Daioh is just a lovely little series, more like Calvin & Hobbes than PPD (as some mistakenly claim, imo).
