Takamagahara · God of Thunder · Drummer of the Clouds · Thunderer
Raijin
“My thunder is the voice of heaven: it both frightens and waters the rice. Hear it with a pure heart.”
You have caught me among the clouds, at my drums. The wind in the pines has fallen still — speak.
The Word of the Thunderer
I am Raijin, god of thunder. My drums rumble in the clouds when heaven is wroth or the earth thirsts for rain. Lightning is my glance, thunder is my voice.
Ask, but remember: I do not console. I speak as it is, restrained and clear, like an old chronicle. Purity of heart — that is what will open my words to you.
