Fortunes Worshipping
Before the Fall of the Kami, the tribes of humanity worshipped the Fortunes in a very primitive
fashion. The Celestial beings did not really grasp the perceptions of mortals and did little to actually
inform humans of what must be done, so religion was essentially a matter of trial and error. It would
not be until the Kami appeared that the mortals would be instructed on proper worship. [1]

The Seven Fortunes

The Seven Fortunes existed before the Kami fell to Rokugan. The Tribe of Isawa worshipped them, and
they in return protected the Tribe and kept the practice of blood magic, maho, safe. When the Kami
Shiba saw the Seven were not wicked gods, he begged Hantei to beseech their mother Amaterasu to
accept the Seven Fortunes among their pantheon and greet the Isawa as allies. She agreed, but only as
long as the Seven Fortunes always watched over her mortal children of Rokugan. In spreading
themselves over so wide a populace, the Fortunes could no longer keep the blood magic free of
Jigoku's touch as they once had. [2]
The legends said the Seven Fortunes of Good Luck rode through the sky on a golden chariot that
bestowed good luck on whoever saw it. [3] Other said they were inside a boat. [4] The Fortunes had
both a peaceful and a wrathful aspect. The peaceful aspect was that of a large, pleasantly smiling figure
sitting on a pillow. The wrathful aspect was pictured with black skin, flaming eyes and fangs, often
swinging a sword. [3]
The Seven Fortunes of Rokugan were:

Benten - Fortune of Romantic Love

Bishamon - Fortune of Strength
Daikoku - Fortune of Wealth
Ebisu - Fortune of Honest Work
Fukurokujin - Fortune of Wisdom and Mercy

 Hotei - Fortune of Contentment

Jurojin - Fortune of Longevity
In 1170 the Seven Fortunes supported the Jade Dragon and Obsidian Dragon when they challenged and
defeated Yakamo, the second Lord Sun, and Hitomi, the second Lady Moon, replacing them as the third
Sun and Moon deities, respectively. [5]

Minor Fortunes
In addition to the Seven Fortunes, there were a large number of minor deities who carried out very
specific duties within the Celestial Heavens and the Spirit Realms. Lesser Fortunes were invariably
connected in some way to one of the Seven Fortunes, and it was believed the lesser Fortunes were
created by the Seven to do their bidding or to embody certain aspects of their divinity. [6] It Some of
the most important of these minor Fortunes included:
