Who was your first Kami if I may ask (Since there are many kami for any given facet of this world and beyond)? I know there are a few who are seen in both male and female forms (i.e. the more popularly known Inari). Was your previous Kami a Kami of the Heavens, or Earth? I generally get rather excited to find others with roots in Shinto. I have a primarily shinto center, and hold Benzaiten-no-kami (hime)as my Matron deity.
My first kami that I held as a patron/matron was a kami of the earth, it resided in an old tree outside my house. My matron is not terribly strong but, at least from what I can tell, has great potential.
