About Kamuhata Hime: A Japanese goddess of weaving, Kamuhata Hime braids the strands of fate to help out anyone seeking solid relationships. Through her careful, artistic eye, she binds devotion with love into a beautiful, strong tapestry between two committed people.
To Do Today: The Tanabat weaving festival is a traditional day for marriage in China, commemorating the time when two stellar deities meet and celebrate their love, thanks to the help of celestial magpies who build a winged bridge across the Milky Way, bringing them together this one day out of the year.
Stargazing is a favorite activity that you can participate in, watching as Kamuhata Hime weaves the heavens into a feast for the eyes and soul. As you gaze out into the stars, watch closely the area of the Milky Way. If you see a shooting star, make a wish for love or the improvement of a relationship, and Kamuhata Hime will answer it.
If you're thinking of deepening your commitment to someone, tonight is an excellent time to recite your promises to each other beneath the stars. As you do, braid three strands of cloth or yarn, making a vow at each juncture. Keep this as a Kamuhata Hime amulet to protect the love and devotion in your relationship. Unbind this if the two of you ever part ways.
