I am being called to do the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage by the Universe.
Before today, though I claimed to be extensively in love with Japan and knew plenty about the country, I knew nothing about the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage.
Maybe I have heard it in passing. Once or twice, maybe. But it never registered.
Not until yesterday, during a Zoom class on Witchcraft history lesson, Natta the teacher, elaborated on Animism before proceeding to show a beautiful stone she got during her pilgrimage to Japan.
“Okunoin?” I guessed. It was. She passed it during the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage walk she told me.
I wasn’t called immediately right there and then.
Earlier today, lying in bed as my Sunday morning routine, I was called to google Kumano Kodo. After a minute or two of reading about it, I decided that I wanted to do it for my birthday.
This calling needs to be fulfilled.
I told Fafa the same thing and emailed him the details with the links, days required and cost estimation. He said he was in.
Next, I sent a long text to Jik. She is yet to reply.
