It is believed that Tsukumogami brings misfortune if it becomes violent (Araburu-kami [violent deity], Kyubi no kitsune [a fox having nine tails] etc.), and it brings good fortune if it becomes calm (Nagiru-kami [calm deity], Okitsune sama [the fox worshiped as a harvest deity] etc.).
荒ぶれば（荒ぶる神・九尾の狐など）禍を齎し、和ぎれば（和ぎる神・お狐様など）幸を齎すとされる。 |
