Talk:Takeminakata

Article split?
I'm tentatively thinking about giving Suwa-myōjin an article of its own. While the standard opinion holds that Takeminakata = Suwa-myōjin, historically there's been quite a number of conflicting myths and legends just about who Suwa-myōjin is supposed to be, not to mention that the history of the region's belief system is quite complex to be limited here, I'm proposing that the Takeminakata article be mainly devoted to the god as he appears in the Kojiki (and the Sendai Kuji Hongi), while the Suwa-myōjin article treat about other stories about the god as well as historical worship of this deity in general.

Omiwatari?
Does omiwatari or a similar phenomenom occur on other lakes? --Nessie (talk) 03:18, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, similar phenomena occur on other areas, though it is only in Suwa that the phenomenon is given a sort of religious significance as far as I know. Pat457 (talk) 05:19, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
