Happy Solstice All!

The 'Ichinyo Raifuku Amulet' from Anahachi Shrine is believed to bring financial good fortune. I stood in line to get them today (and got some at the Temple next door too!)!


The shrine’s special charm is available only during the winter solstice every year (Dec 21 2024 today!) These charms are to be put up at exactly midnight on either the first day of winter solstice, on New Year’s Eve, or on Setsubun (the last day of winter), and they should be placed high on a room’s wall, facing the “ehou,” or lucky direction, of the year. It also came with complicated directions and I need a compass to do it correctly. Luckily the ones that go in your wallet just need to be placed at the correct time!
