I’m not an expert, I know nothing about ornithology or biology or zoology or wildlife science or animal behaviours or animal intelligence, but sometimes I think about the fact that birdwatchers in Toronto observed a raven learn how to mimic crow calls, make a nest with a crow and raise a pair of crow-raven hybrids the birdwatchers referred to as cravens and I just think. That’s gotta be love, baby.

[image id: Eiki Shiki Yamaxanadu’s dialogue from the Touhou game Phantasmagoria of Flower View as shown on the Touhou wiki. The highlighted text reads: “Law is decided by humans. Sins that cannot be judged by law are judged by me.”]

[Image id end]

Let’s talk about tsumi (罪) and kegare (汚れ) .

Tsumi is the japanese word for both sin and an abstract concept that’s closest translation could be “emotional baggage”.

An acquintance of mine, who works as a miko explained to me that tsumi is like accumulated garbage within the soul. The more trash (kegare) you collect, the more it smells and the bigger and more noticeable the trashbag that contains it becomes.

Kegare can be roughly translated as “impurity”, the feeling given to you by unpleasant, scary, unnerving or disgusting entities. Just like tsumi, it’s an abstract concept. Anything can give you kegare, and what gives you it can vary from person to person.

For example I for one like spiders, I think they’re cute. However to most humans, spiders are terrifying and that gives them kegare. If you suffer from an illness, have a loved one die, or doing something bad can all give you kegare, but it’s very subjective and depends on your personal moral compass and your likes and dislikes.

Bottomline is, that tsumi is an accumulation of kegare that’s more difficult to get rid of and causes more trouble. For example if someone body shames you once and ypu feel bad about it for a few minutes, that’s kegare, if you’ve experienced it many times to the point of it negatively affects how you view your body, that counts as tsumi.

The emphasis is on effects things have, not the things themself. The darkness isn’t kegare, your fear of the darkness is. Tsumi works the same way.

This paragraph confirms that Eiki isn’t making judgements based on the sins committed, but the fact that the characters have unresolved emotional baggages in connection with what she points out to them.

This implies, among others, that Marisa feels bad about lying all the time, that Aya is feeling insecure about her writing or that Yuuka feels old in the negative sense, even if they do so unconsciously.
