Hello there
On this page, you can find out who I am, what my connection to Shinto is, why I don’t claim to be a shrine, and how all our orders are created. And, of course, learn more about this guy with the slightly tired eyes.
Моя історія
My name is Ilya, and my journey into magic began at age 14—with the “Wild Unknown” Tarot deck.
I saved up money from my school lunches for a whole month because my parents wouldn’t pay for the Tarot. When I finally held the deck in my hands—metaphorically speaking—my jaw dropped. I slept with it, ate with it, and took it for walks.
My first favorite cards were the 9 and 10 of Swords—I’m a fatalist, and that sense of finality hooked me for good.
Rumors spread around school, and soon I became the underground tarot reader of my class. I loved it.
In 2021, through a friend, I met a mentor who created a chart for me to identify my abilities. It turned out that I am a magician.
That’s how I set up my first altar—to Chantico, the goddess of the hearth in the Aztec pantheon. We worked together for two years, and this collaboration came to a natural end—we gave each other everything we could.
After moving to Poland, I began dreaming of white foxes. I built a kamidana—a home Shinto altar to Inari-sama.
It took me a month of daily manual labor: pine wood, craft sticks, watercolor paper, a glue gun, and a lot of patience. It was then that I realized that repetition is a form of service.
What I do and who I am
Inari Sama Shop is my personal magical project.
I am not a Shinto priest and do not represent any official shrine. I practice Shinto as a magician and practitioner—with respect for the canon, traditional prayers, and daily rituals.
I make each omamori by hand: I wrap tablets bearing a fox seal and traditional Japanese prayers from Soki Ono’s canonical book *Shinto: The Kami Way*, and consecrate them at my own Inari-sama altar.
What matters to the Kami is your intention, not a receipt from a store. This is the principle I follow in everything I create.
I am, as is known in Shinto, a shaman.
What I do is not temple merchandise. It is something personal.
