箱根の九頭龍神社の月次祭に参拝してきました！
週のはじめには天気は雪の予報でしたが、当日は寒かったものの雪は降らずに、お参りには支障がなくて何よりでした。
寒かったおかげで、薄っすらと雪化粧した美しい景色を楽しめて、私としてはむしろツイてました笑
九頭龍神社を崇敬神社にさせていただいているので、月次祭のあとはお神札と直会で神饌をいただいてきました。
九頭龍神社本宮の近くにある白龍神社にお参りした際、今回は白龍ひもを持って奉納しました。
大きな絵馬に書いたお願いごとが叶いますように！✨✨
九頭龍の森の芦ノ湖畔の遊歩道も、歩いていてとっても清々しくて気持ちよかった！
箱根神社ではしっかり小槌をなでなでさせてもらって、もちろん九頭龍神社新宮のところの龍神水もいただきました。
引いたおみくじ（九頭龍みくじ）は大吉！🌈
おみくじの「相場」の欄に、『一発勝負は身を滅ぼす』と書いてあって、一発勝負をすることは普段ないですけど、、気をつけたいと思います笑
よいお参りがまたできて幸せです💗

The Monthly Festival at Kuzuryu Shrine
I attended the Tsukinami-sai (Monthly Festival) at Kuzuryu Shrine in Hakone!
Early in the week, the forecast predicted snow. Although it was a cold day, it didn't actually snow during the visit, so I’m just glad everything went smoothly. Actually, thanks to the cold, I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery lightly dusted with snow—I’d say I was pretty lucky! 😊👍
Since I have chosen Kuzuryu Shrine as my Sukei-jinja (a shrine I personally support and honour), I received a new Ofuda (talisman) and some Shinsen (sacred food offerings) for the Naorai (ritual feast) after the ceremony.
When I visited Hakuryu Shrine nearby, I offered a Hakuryu-himo (sacred white cord) this time. I also wrote my wish on a large Ema (votive tablet)—I really hope it comes true! ✨✨
The lakeside path along Lake Ashi in the "Kuzuryu Forest" felt so refreshing and wonderful to walk through. At Hakone Shrine, I made sure to pet the Kozuchi (magic mallet) for good luck, and of course, I didn't forget to take some of the Ryujinsui (Dragon God Water) at the New Shrine.
I also pulled a Kuzuryu-mikuji (fortune) and got Daikichi (Great Blessing)! 🌈
However, in the "Market/Investment" section, it gave me a sharp warning: "Going 'all-in' on a single gamble will lead to ruin." While I don't usually take such reckless risks, as a trader, it was a timely reminder to stay disciplined and keep a cool head! 😅
I’m so happy I could have such a wonderful and meaningful pilgrimage again. 💗
