WTF is Miko?

In Shinto, a miko is a shrine maiden or a supplementary priestess. Miko were once likely seen as a shaman but are understood in modern Japanese culture to be an institutionalized role in daily shrine life, trained to perform tasks, ranging from sacred cleansing to performing the sacred Kagura dance.


Duh.....What else would I be talking about???

I'm down. How many first-rounders will it take to get one in here? And will she be okay with the fact that there were Native American slaves here 150 years ago, or will she be offended by the fact that there weren't enough Native American slaves here (sorry can't keep it straight)?
