Miwata lived in a tranquil coastal village. She was blessed with a warm smile that warmed the hearts of her fellow villagers. Her eyes were surrounded by a gentle glow, allowing her to see with clarity, not just with her senses but also with her inner intuition.
She was devoted to the goddess of the sea and water, who had once revealed herself as a water nymph serving as the figurehead of a European ship. She believed in the protective power of the sea and the purity of water.
One of the most intriguing rituals Miwata performed was the cleansing of a novice. She knew the purity of body and soul was of great importance. With caring hands and a reassuring smile, she conducted the rituals. First, the novice was cleansed with soap and special herbs to wash away worldly impurities. Then came the moment with the blood of the black dove, and finally, the washing with the white dove, where the initiate's evils would be shed, leaving a state of ritual purity.
