Step through the gate into Yomi and learn to walk with the goddess who rules where all endings go.

Beginning with Izanami: Goddess of Creation, Death, and Yomi is a beginner-friendly devotional guide for witches, pagans, and spirit-workers who feel drawn to the quiet, fierce presence of Izanami-no-Mikoto. Rooted in the oldest Japanese myths and shaped for modern practice, this book offers a respectful, grounded path to working with Izanami outside formal Shinto settings.

Inside, you will find:

Myths and meanings. Clear retellings of Izanami's story as creator of the islands, mother of gods, and sovereign of Yomi, with attention to her themes of fire, decay, grief, and irrevocable boundaries.

Foundations of devotion. Consent-based approaches, offerings, altar ideas, and daily or weekly practices that honor Izanami without appropriating living Japanese funerary traditions.

Rites of beginning. Step-by-step rituals for introductions, dark-moon grief work, and seasonal composting rites that help you release what is truly over and nourish what still has life.

Magic for endings and grief. Beginner-level workings focused on gate-closing, grief candles, shadow-compost jars, and ancestral boundary charms, with strong safety guidelines and mental-health disclaimers.

Divination and discernment. Tarot spreads, dream and omen guidance, and practical tools to distinguish genuine contact from coincidence or projection.

Troubleshooting and trauma-aware guidance. Support for times when you feel nothing, feel too much, or clash with family and religious backgrounds, emphasizing that devotion never requires self-destruction.

Further study and reflection. Suggestions for respectful research, including the Kojiki, the Nihon Shoki, Shinto basics, and underworld myths worldwide, along with long-term journaling prompts to track how your relationship with endings evolves.

You will not find sensationalized necromancy or promises of guaranteed spirit contact here. Instead, Beginning with Izanami offers steady companionship at the thresholds of your life, including funerals and breakups, burned-out careers, lost homes and identities, ancestral grief, and the slow work of learning to let go.

If you are ready for a path that treats endings as holy, compost as sacred, and honesty as the highest offering, this book will help you take your first steps with Izanami at the gate.
