My ideas and opinion have not changed much during my research. Things were just explained more clear and understandable to me. I know that a true journey of this nature would not end here though. I would need to continue researching the different theories of Shinto past and practices. I feel that five weeks was not truly enough to complete deep, thorough research, but I feel that I did fairly well within that amount of time.
I believe that the information I have found has influenced me, in that it has drawn me in more, causing me to become even more interested in the topic of Shinto. It has also made me think more about what religions were even before Shinto, what beliefs/culture it may have stemmed from. If it truly was from northern Asia, and related to other religions, perhaps if we go far enough back in time we can find one original religion that all these nature religions were formed from. As you can see, for me, the journey always seems to lead to more questions, and onto another adventure of discovery.
