Short Answer
Sir, or Madam
There really is no short answer to your question. I would recommend you get a copy of “Shinto: The Kami Way” by Sokyo Ono. It is published by the Charles E. Tuttle Co. and can be found at Amazon.com or barnes&noble.com. It is a short read on the subject and is quite informative.
Good Luck
Also in the future be sure to sign all your post with your full name so your fellow e-budo members will know who they are addressing in their replies to your post.
Thank You
