Title
Araburu kami
荒ぶる神
Text Malignant gods who bring affliction to human beings. Although it may seem strange to consider them as kami, in Shinto it is thought possible to soothe and pacify their evil natures by means of matsuri and thus change them into benevolent deities. See also magatsuhi no kami.
