SHINTO 0420 taima reki yôzai kiri hajime sai

[hyperseth]

when reading about "hemp in religion" at http://www.taima.org/en/shinto.htm

i discovered this calander for the sacred burning of hemp leaves:

Five times a year so called "taima" (marijuana) ceremonies are conducted at the shrine:

January 8: taima reki hôsei hajime sai
March 1: taima reki hampu chûryû sai
Mid April: taima reki yôzai kiri hajime sai
September 17: taima reki hampu hajime sai
December 20: taima reki hosei chûryû sai

they seem to be turning out five harvests a year!
that's a lot of nutrition.
