Myōken-shū is a fictional, historically plausible branch of Shugendō that emphasizes the integration of (magical practice) with (Buddhist) and (Shinto) teachings in a more accessible and less ascetic manner. Founded by Raihō, a visionary (monk) who believed in the potential of (magic) to enhance spiritual practice, Myōken-shū focuses on developing a harmonious relationship between the individual, the natural world, and the magical forces that permeate existence.

Myōken-shū practitioners, called Myōkenja (妙見者), strive to balance their magical abilities with the cultivation of wisdom, compassion, and inner peace. Unlike mainstream Shugendō, Myōken-shū does not require its adherents to adhere to strict ascetic practices or undertake arduous pilgrimages. Instead, it encourages followers to integrate their magical skills into their daily lives, using them as tools for personal growth and spiritual development.

The teachings of Myōken-shū place great importance on the concept of interdependence, emphasizing that all things are interconnected and that the actions of individuals have far-reaching consequences. Myōkenja are encouraged to use their magical abilities responsibly, recognizing that the power they wield can be a force for good or ill depending on their intentions and actions.

Myōken-shū also incorporates elements of Shinto, particularly its reverence for nature and the belief in the presence of (kami), or divine spirits, within the natural world. Myōkenja seek to develop a deep connection with the (natural) world and its spiritual inhabitants, using their magical abilities to communicate with kami and attune themselves to the underlying rhythms and patterns of the universe.

In summary, Myōken-shū is a fictional, historically plausible variant of Shugendō that offers a more accessible path for spiritual practitioners who wish to integrate magical practice with Buddhist and Shinto teachings. By emphasizing the responsible use of magic and the importance of living in harmony with the natural world, Myōken-shū provides a unique approach to spiritual development that resonates with the needs and aspirations of its followers.
