Koshinto, which is originally said to be a primitive religion, has values or beliefs based on the animism such as nature worship and worship of the dead and prays (communication with gods through prayers) as well as on the fortune-telling (prediction and foreknowledge depending on gods).
そもそも、古神道は原始宗教ともいわれ、自然崇拝・精霊崇拝といわれるアニミズムと祈祷（祈りによる神との交信）や占い（神が憑依による予言や予見）といった価値観や思想がある。
